Rishton
The wide footbridge at Rishton was once more than twice the surviving length as it also spanned the station goods yard, which looped behind the eastbound platform. I remember crossing it from a small remote ticket office around 1970 but the yard had closed by that time and the bridge was cut back to the present form soon after. The old goods yard is now occupied by modern housing and a small station car park. 195131 hurries through with a York to Blackpool service on 18th May 2022.
