Pilling
(1870 - 1872 1875 - 1930)
When it opened on 5 December 1870, Pilling Station was the western terminus of the Garstang & Knott End Railway (G&KER)
There was a single platform on the south side of the line, a timber station building and a run round loop. Goods facilities were located to the south of the passenger platform and consisted of two sidings and a yard
At the time of opening, there were two arrivals and two departures which ran as mixed passenger and goods trains
In 1903, the passenger facilities were improved when a single storey brick building was added to the station. On 1 July 1908, the KER bought the G&KER and on July 29 1908 the line to Knott End opened. Pilling station gained an additional platform which served up direction (eastbound) trains
Bus competition in the area had become well established by the 1920s and it had a big effect on passenger numbers. On March 31 1930, the LMS withdrew the passenger service from the line but goods services continued to run until November 13 1950
The track was lifted sometime after 1965 and the station had been demolished by 1975
