Bamber Bridge railway station serves the village of Bamber Bridge 6 km (4 miles) to the south of Preston on the A6 and M6 roads. Its railway station, in common with Lostock Hall, was once much larger and used by many more trains than today. Almost all signs of the old stop have been demolished.
Bamber Bridge may not strictly be a "one-street village", but each train to pass through stops traffic; the level crossing cuts across the main road. Only Northern Rail trains en route to and from Preston use Bamber Bridge. It has two platforms, but is not manned and has no departure screens.
[edit] Services
Monday to Saturdays, there is an hourly service from Bamber Bridge towards Preston and Blackpool South, westbound and Blackburn, Burnley and Colne, eastbound. There is a two-hourly service in each direction on Sundays.
