Hoscar formerly Hoscar Moss
(1871 - )
Hoscar Station serves the rural village of Hoscar near the town of Burscough opening in 1871 as Hoscar Moss. It was renamed Hoscar in January 1900
The station once boasted a goods yard which was used by local farmers to get their crops to the markets of Wigan, Manchester and Southport quickly. The former railway building is now a house
Hoscar has no permanent buildings other than simple shelters and staggered platforms either side of an automatic level crossing. Hoscar is unmanned and has no ticket machine, so all tickets have to be purchased on the train or prior to travel and train running information can be obtained by telephone and from timetable information posters
Trains run to Southport and to Wigan Wallgateand onwards to Manchester Victoria. The frequency of trains calling at Hoscar is every 2 hours (8 per day) but there are no trains calling on Sundays
