General notes

Upon closure of the West Lancashire Railway in 1964, Churchtown station was demolished in January 1965 to prevent any possible acts of vandalism and arson, as the station had been made entirely of wood, along with both of its platforms.

Track lifting began on 6th January 1965 being completed 20th January 1965.
