This was the junction between the approach to the original Lancaster [1st] terminus of 1840 and the extension north by the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway of 1846 which left the old terminus on a short branch.
The old terminus closed to passengers in 1849, three years after the extension, to become a goods station until 1967.
