Golborne North Railway Station

Golborne North railway station served the village of Golborne, formerly in Lancashire, now in Wigan, England. The station was on the Liverpool, St Helens and South Lancashire Railway line from Lowton St Mary's to the original St Helens Central railway station. It was located just east of where it crossed both the WCML and what is now the A573, at the northern edge of the village. The station was built of wood and had very sparse facilities. HistoryOpened by the Liverpool, St Helens and South Lancashire Railway, as part of the Great Central Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. The station was referred to locally as "Golborne GC" to distinguish it from the ex-LNWR Golborne station on the West Coast Main Line in the centre of the village. In 1949 the ex-LNWR station was renamed Golborne South and the ex-GCR station was renamed Golborne North. ServicesIn 1922 five "down" trains called at the station on Mondays to Saturdays. They called at all stations from Manchester Central to St Helens via Glazebrook and Culcheth.
