Galgate station, at the top of this steep track on the outskirts of the village, was never going to compete with buses that stopped in the centre and it closed in 1939, along with three others between Lancaster and Preston. With all trace of the station cleared away many years ago this Network Rail sign, just beyond the access gate, is the only reference to what was once here. Distances on this stretch of the WCML are measured from Preston. 1st September 2020.
