Pemberton, avoiding Wigan
Newchurch Halt railway station was a railway station on the former Wigan Junction Railways line between Glazebrook and Wigan Central.[2]
Contents
History
The station opened on 1 February 1943, to serve nearby military establishments: a Royal Ordnance Factory at Risley, and a Royal Navy training camp.[3] A single-track private railway left the Wigan line just to the East of Newchurch Halt, and ran South, across a manned Level Crossing at Silver Lane and eventually into the Royal Ordnance Factory.[4]
The station closed on 2 November 1964, when passenger services were withdrawn from the Wigan line.[4][5]
