Stubbins Railway Station
Abandoned in 1972 after, British Rail closed the Bury to Rawtenstall line to passenger services, the remains of Stubbins Station can still be seen today.
This station used to have twin tracks running through serving the platforms in both direction's.
Today the line is owned by The East Lancashire Railway and carries an average of 120,000 passengers per year.

The Stubbins Village Resident's Association have been trying to get the station re-opened in recent years, however, it has been confirmed by the East Lancashire Railway that there are currently no plans to look at re-opening Stubbins Station for at least the next 2 years.
