Golborne South railway station was a substantial, brick-built station was on the West Coast Main Line.[2] It stood immediately south of the A573 bridge over the line in the centre of the village of Golborne.[3][4][5]
History
Opened by the North Union Railway, it became part of the London and North Western Railway, passing to the LMSR during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
Services
In 1922 ten "Down" (northbound) services called at Golborne South on Mondays to Saturdays and one train on a Sunday. Most were local services, with a Saturdays Only "Parliamentary", calling at most stations in a five and a half journey from Crewe to Carlisle. The "Up" service was similar.[6]
After closure
Following the dismantling of Golborne South railway station, the only remaining evidence of it was the track alignment and bricked in apertures in a road overpass.[7]
