Chorley railway station serves Chorley in Lancashire, England. Since 2004 it has been linked with its "interchange" bus and coach station.
The railway station is a modern 1980s built on top of the original station, the level of which can be seen under the existing station's two platforms connected by underpass. A level crossing, no longer in use, is still in place at the station entrance as well as a pedestrian subway which emerges at the foot of the Railway Pub. There are no toilets on the station and the nearest ones are in the bus station across the road. Former franchise holder First North Western used Chorley for its Blackpool to Euston services, but these were discontinued. Chorley's rail services provide a link for the commuters of Lancashire to Preston, Manchester and Bolton.
The small villages which form part of the borough of Chorley, such as Adlington and Euxton all have railway stations. Euxton is the youngest station in Lancashire.
