Entwistle
A lengthy campaign to redouble the Blackburn-Bolton line was partly successful with the opening of a two mile long dynamic loop at Darwen in 2015. However, reinstating a second track at Entwistle would have required major work. A 153/150 combination leaves the rural request stop heading for Bolton and Manchester past the relay room that was built on the old goods lines. The surviving platform was once part of an island but the other road has been filled in and an exit ramp created in place of the old footbridge.
