Salwick railway station is situated on the Preston-to-Blackpool railway line in England, 5 ¹⁄₄ miles (8.4 km) west of Preston, and is managed by Northern Rail. The station lies between Preston and Kirkham, near the village of Clifton.

The station was closed on 2 May 1938 along with Lea Road railway station to the east, but was reopened on 8 April 1940 to serve the adjacent industrial complex.^[1]^[2]

Services

Salwick is served by only three trains towards Preston/Colne and four towards Blackpool a day, but it is not a formal request stop; trains are timetabled to stop there.^[3] It is used by very few passengers (as low as 1,858 in 2004–05), but provides a commuter service for the workers at the nearby Springfields BNFL complex. Trains do not call at Salwick on Sundays.
