Fleetwood Branch Line

Fleetwood Branch Line

The Fleetwood Branch Line consists of the train line from Preston to Fleetwood once it reached Kirkham and Wesham it continued on towards Fleetwood. It passed through many smaller stations along the way (most of which are now closed). When work at Fleetwood docks was under threat, the Fleetwood station was closed, this effectively closed the branch.

The have been recent talks about reopening stations along the Fleetwood branch line including Fleetwood. Currently the latest plan is to reopen the line, still as a single track, but with a cycle path adjacent to it. The line will have a planned freight trip to Fleetwood Tip.
