Much of the Preston to Southport line ran across open farmland and has disappeared back into it since closure in 1964. This is the view north from Hoole level crossing towards Longton and Preston in February 2019. Part of the old level crossing gate survives but the trackbed doesn't reappear until it meets the trees in the distance. [Ref query 8 February 2019]
