Adlington railway station serves the town of Adlington in Lancashire, England. It is a two-platform station on the Шаблон:Rws - Шаблон:Rws - Шаблон:Rws line. This is part of the Northern service link between Preston and Manchester via Bolton and Chorley.
Until 1960 Adlington was also served by a station named White Bear (on the Lancashire Union Railway).[1]
History
On 15 June 1837 by act of Parliament, the Bolton and Preston Railway Company constructed a link with the Manchester line comprising nine and a half miles of railway to a temporary terminus at Rawlinson Lane. By December 1841 the line had reached Chorley and Adlington station opened to take over from Rawlinson Bridge.
The line would pass into the hands London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Rail.
Facilities
The station has a staffed ticket office, open from start of service until 13:10 Mondays to Saturday. A ticket vending machine is in place for purchase of tickets or promise to pay coupons when the ticket office is closed and for the collection of pre-paid tickets. A waiting room is available in the main building when the booking office is open and there are shelters on each platforms. Train running information is provided by timetable posters and telephone, as well as newly installed electronic displays in the waiting shelters on both platforms. There is step-free access to both platforms however there is no tactile paving on the northbound platform. Platform 2, for services towards Manchester can only be accessed by a steep ramp which is not suitable for wheelchairs. The nearest station with full tactile paving and full step-free access is Шаблон:Rws.[2] Mobility scooters cannot be taken on board trains from Adlington however, they can be taken on board when travelling to/from the next station at Шаблон:Rws.[3]
Services
Off-peak, one train per hour calls at this station throughout the day 7 days a week on the route between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws, operated by Northern Trains.
Saturday and Sunday services were replaced by buses most weekends from May 2015 until November 2018 due to the late-running electrification work on the route.[4] Weekend services resumed on Sunday 11 November 2018 after the completion of the electrification engineering work.
Until December 2021, Adlington was served by a two-hourly train service between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws but this was withdrawn due to a shortage of train crew, to improve reliability on the route and engineering works, and replaced by a shuttle bus service between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws, and only received a peak-only train service. Since May 2022, it has received an hourly service between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws, which increases to half-hourly during peak times.
Since 2019, all train services have been provided by electric multiple units.[5]
The majority of services on the Manchester - Blackpool route are operated by six-carriage (3+3) Шаблон:Brc units, and until mid-2023 only the front four coaches could fit on the platforms. The platforms were extended and now all carriages fit on the platform, however as of November 2023 there are issues with the ASDO system and the doors in the sixth coach will not open.

Renovation and electrification
It was announced by the Department for Transport in December 2009, the line between Preston and Manchester, on which the station is situated, would be electrified enabling a reduction in journey times to Manchester by up to ten minutes.[6] There have been many delays but completion was in December 2018 when test trains (Virgin Pendolino) finally ran between Preston and Manchester.[7]
Electric service commenced on 11 February 2019 utilising Class 319 electric multiple units.[5]
