History

Glasson Dock was opened by the London and North Western Railway on the 9th July 1883. However, the station was passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, only to be closed seven years later on the 7th July 1930. [1]

The site today

The trackbed through the former station is now part of the Lancashire Coastal Way and the larger Bay cycleway. However, the station itself was demolished after goods services stopped in 1964.
