Plex Moss Lane
When the LS&PJR opened there were four intermediate stations at Kew Gardens, Shirdley HIll, Halsall and Barton (later Downholland), and the latter two stations were less than one mile apart. In 1906, in an effort to cut costs and boost low passenger numbers, the L&YR introduced a railmotor service and opened further halts. Despite the proximity of Downholland and Halsall this included one at Plex Moss Lane, accessed by steps from this overbridge. Downholland station was situated by the first pylon on the left, only 600 yards away. The stations and intermediate halts all closed to passengers in 1938.
