Rainford: 150120, Headbolt Lane to Blackburn, pauses at Rainford to handover the single line token. From 1858 this was a three-way junction. The old platform curving right was on the ELR line to Ormskirk, closed in 1956 and now built on. To the left a pedestrian footpath initially follows the LNWR line St. Helens line that closed in 1951. A direct chord for Ormskirk to St. Helens freight and excursions crossed the Wigan to Liverpool line on a now demolished bridge about 300 yards to the west of here.
