Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Croston railway station serves the small village of Croston, near Chorley in Lancashire, England; the station is on the Ormskirk Branch Line Шаблон:Convert south west of Шаблон:Rws. It is unstaffed and the old station buildings are now privately occupied.

The station was built & opened by the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway (later taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) along with the line in April 1849. "Line" is the suitable word here, as along the way are clear signs of the former double track trunk route from Preston to Liverpool Exchange, which was severely rationalised (including the reduction to single line working) in 1970.

The line once carried numerous express trains to Шаблон:Rws Edinburgh, Шаблон:Rws and the Lake District, though Croston was usually served only by local stopping services from Liverpool to Preston and Шаблон:Rws.

Trains connect at Шаблон:Rws with Merseyrail services to Liverpool Central. Croston enjoys bus connections to nearby Leyland, Chorley, Southport, and Preston. It is on the B5247 into Bretherton.

The single platform still in use has a shelter & digital information screen, but has no ticket vending facilities. Step-free access is available for disabled travellers.

Services

Monday to Saturdays sees an hourly service operate each way to Preston and Ormskirk. There is no Sunday service.
