For a number of years after the 1964 closure of the direct Marton Line to Blackpool Central a short section at the eastern end was used by engineers, mainly for tipping spent ballast. The sidings are now mostly lifted but a set of buffers survives in 2021, seen here from the nearby footbridge looking towards Kirkham. Engineers still use the location to access the surviving Blackpool line that runs alongside.
