Plex Moss Lane Halt was a railway station between Halsall and Barton in Lancashire. The station opened in July 1906 as a halt on the Liverpool, Southport and Preston Junction Railway, and consisted of simple cinder based platforms at track level which required steps to be lowered from the coach for passenger access. It was situated to the south of the roadbridge on Plex Moss Lane, to which it was connected by wooden steps. The station closed to passengers on September 26, 1938, and the tracks were lifted shortly after the line closed in 1952.
