The station was opened on 22 June 1843 when the Bolton and Preston Railway (B&PR) opened its line from Шаблон:Rws to Шаблон:Rws.Шаблон:Sfn
The station was also known as Euxton Junction, it was located just south of the junction where the B&PR and the North Union Railway (NUR) met, close to Pack Saddle Bridge.[1] The B&PR became part of the NUR in 1844.Шаблон:Sfn
The passenger station was accessed from the road where it crossed the railway, just north of the junction and there was one long platform on the east side of the line. There were buildings at the road side and on the platform.[1] The goods side of the station was to the west of the line and accessed from the Wigan to Preston road, adjacent to a public house, which had probably been Cocker's Bridge and became the Railway Tavern.[1][2]
By 1894 all access appeared to be from the road adjacent to the Railway Tavern, there were platforms both sides of the running lines both with structures. There were sidings on both sides of the mainline forming a goods yard which was able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock and was equipped with a five ton crane.[2]Шаблон:Sfn
The NUR was absorbed by two larger companies in 1889, the section from Bolton to Euxton, and therefore this station, became part of the L&YR.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
The station closed on 2 April 1917.Шаблон:Sfn The line remains open between Preston and Wigan, however nothing remains of the station.
