Garstang Road Halt
(1923 - 1930)
Garstang Road Halt was opened by the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in October 1923 to serve a railmotor service that ran between Garstang & Catterall and Knott End
Garstang Road passed over the line by means of a level crossing and the halt was located to the east of it. The halt was opposite a cottage on the north side of the line. There was a short platform provided on the north side of the line
At the time of opening, there were seven trains to Knott End, one to Pilling and eight to Garstang & Catterall on weekdays
In the period when Garstang Road Halt was opened, road transport was already having an effect on railway passenger numbers and by the late 1920s the service was uneconomic. The LMS withdrew the passenger service from March 31 1930. Goods services between Garstang Town and Pilling ceased from August 1 1963 and the track was lifted shortly afterwards
