Langho Railway Station

About Langho Railway Station

Langho railway station serves the village of Langho in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, England. The station is 5 + 1 /4mi north of Blackburn. It is one of four railway stations along the Ribble line from Blackburn to Clitheroe reopened in 1994 by British Rail and Lancashire County Council, having been closed by the British Railways as an economy measure in 1956, six years before the local passenger service over the line ceased. The station has maintained transport links with existing bus services and has its services provided by Northern. FacilitiesThe station is unmanned and has no ticketing provision, so these must be bought on the train or in advance of travel. The two platforms are staggered, either side of the pedestrian underpass that links them (the Clitheroe-bound one being the more northerly of the two); the original station had its platforms opposite one another but the building of new housing prevented this arrangement from being used for its replacement. . Shelters are provided on each platform, along with timetable poster boards and customer help point. Running information is also made available by automatic announcements and telephone. No step-free access is possible, as the platforms are above street level and only reached via stairs. ServicesThere is generally an hourly service daily northbound to Clitheroe and southbound to Blackburn and Manchester Victoria with extra trains during peak hours.
