New Lane

It is nearly fifty years since the Down platform at New Lane was relocated to allow the level crossing to be automated and the signal box closed. Hoscar and Bescar Lane were similarly treated about the same time. Any remains are buried in the undergrowth that 150119 is passing as it slows to call on its way to Southport on 13th September 2021.
