St Annes-on-the-Sea

A sizeable number of passengers detrain at St Annes from a Blackpool bound 150143 on 18th December 2020. The redundant Up Platform still stands opposite - see image 36087 from 1990. Ever since the line was singled around 1984 there have been campaigns to install a second platform and passing loop here. These have been unsuccessful to date but in December 2020 a recent Restoring your Railway bid to the Chancellor's Spending Review was successful. That is only the first stage but a business case for the loop is now being prepared by local authorities.
