Penwortham (Cop Lane) formerly Cop Lane Halt
(1911 - 1964)
The station was opened as Cop Lane Halt on April 17 1911 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (LYR) who had taken over the WLR on July 1 1897
Each platform had a simple timber-built waiting shelter
By summer 1932, Cop Lane had 16 weekday trains to Preston. There were 17 weekday Southport trains. On Sundays no trains called at Cop Lane
On March 30 1940 the LMS upgraded the halt to a station and renamed it Penwortham Cop Lane
By the winter of 1956, the station was served on weekdays by 17 Preston and 16 Southport trains. Some extra services operated on Saturdays, and there was a Sunday service with six trains to Preston and five to Southport
Despite local protests all passenger services were withdrawn with effect from September 7 1964, and Penwortham Cop Lane station closed completely
The buildings and platforms at Penwortham Cop Lane were demolished shortly after closure and a bypass was later built along the route of the line at Cop Lane, and it obliterated the site of the station
