Garstang & Catterall formerly Garstang
(1840 - 1969)
Garstang & Catterall was opened as Garstang by the Lancashire & Preston Junction Railway (L&PJR) as part of their line between Preston and Lancaster on June 25 1840
It was a very basic station on an embankment with just a platform for each of the two tracks and a two-storey station house situated on the up side (east side)
On December 5 1870, Garstang became a junction station when the Garstang & Knott End Railway (G&KER) opened a 7 mile line from the station to Pilling
The embankment was widened on its west side and the down platform became an island platform. Its western face served the G&KER trains
Goods facilities were also provided on the western side of the line. The goods facilities included a goods warehouse
On July 1 1908, the G&KER was taken over by the Knott End Railway (KER) Company, who opened a 4½ mile extension between Pilling and Knott End on July 30 1908
On March 31 1930, the LMS withdrew the passenger service between Garstang & Catterall and Knott End but goods services continued to run on that line until August 1963
The station was demolished after closure in February 1969 and in 2020 only the 1840 station house remained. As part of the West Coast Main Line, the line continues to be a busy railway
