Hall i' th' Wood railway station


Hall i' th' Wood railway station is the last stop before Bolton on the Northern Trains franchise's Ribble Valley Line into Blackburn and Clitheroe in England.
The station opened by British Rail on 29 September 1986. It is located in the middle of a housing estate and forms an unofficial footpath between the two sides. In March 2008 work began on a new car park for the station.
It takes its name from the nearby Hall i' th' Wood, now a museum which is within walking distance of the station.

Facilities

The station is unmanned and has basic amenities - waiting shelters and timetable posters on each platform, plus a telephone and CIS screens for train running information provision. The wooden platforms are staggered, with the southbound one the further north of the two. There is no step-free access to either platform.

Services

Latest franchise operator Northern Trains run a much enhanced all day half-hourly service Weekdays and Saturdays in both directions, but still hourly on Sundays, rather than merely at morning and evening peak periods as before. The additional services however start/terminate at Blackburn. The timetable has also been affected by weekend engineering work south of Bolton for much of 2018.
