Tarleton Branch

The Tarleton branch was a 1.25 miles (2.01 km) long single track branch railway line in Lancashire, England, that ran from Hesketh Bank on the West Lancashire Railway to Tarleton Halt via one intermediate station, Boat Yard Crossing Halt.[1]

History

The branch was built alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal's Rufford Branch by the West Lancashire Railway opening in 1881 for goods. After increasing financial difficulties West Lancashire Railway was taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on 1 July 1897. On 3 June 1912 a passenger service was introduced between the newly opened Tarleton Halt and Crossens but this proved short-lived. The branch closed for passengers on 1 October 1913 and for goods in 1930.[2]
