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.[1] It is located in the middle of a housing estate and forms an unofficial footpath between the two sides.[2] In March 2008 work began on a new car park for the station.[3]
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. The wooden platforms are staggered, with the southbound one the further north of the two. There is no step-free access to either platform (the ramps from the road that passes beneath the line both have steps).[4]
Services[]
The former franchise operator Arriva Rail North announced a much enhanced all day half-hourly service Weekdays and Saturdays in both directions from Dec 2017, rather than merely at morning and evening peak periods as before. The additional services however start/terminate at Blackburn, so the service through to Clitheroe remains hourly.[5] The Sunday service is hourly to Clitheroe. The timetable was affected by weekend engineering work south of Bolton (as part of the heavily delayed Manchester to Preston Line electrification project) for much of 2018.
