Thornton-Cleveleys
Still mothballed, it is hard to believe that the Fleetwood branch was formerly a double track main line carrying through express fish trains to London. Passenger trains finally petered out in 1970 but freight continued for many years to both Fleetwood Power Station and the ICI Hillhouse complex at Burn Naze. The last goods train ran in 1999. This view is to the north from School Road crossing and, before vegetation took hold, Thornton Cleveleys station would have been visible from here.
