Lostock Lane railway station served the Lostock area of northwest England. It was located in a rural setting where Lostock Lane crossed the line. During industrialisation, nearby Horwich, Blackrod, and Lostock all grew rapidly, leaving Lostock Lane station with little source of traffic.
The station was situated immediately west of the bridge carrying Lostock Lane.[2] By 2015 no trace of the station could be seen, though the flattened station site remains railway property with good access for road vehicles. The double tracks through the site are well used and are being electrified.
