Moss Side

A view southwards from the level crossing of Moss Side station on the Kirkham to Blackpool South line. Once upon a time a long time ago this was a double track line that ran all the way to Blackpool Central, although Moss Side and Wrea Green stations closed in 1961. With the closure of Central in 1964 the line was cut back to Waterloo Road and that became Blackpool South. Reduction to a single line (long siding) took place in the 1980s but at Moss Side, where the platforms had never been removed, the station was reopened in 1983.
