Remains of the station in 1962
Bamfurlong is within the ward of Abram.[1] For transport it is close to the M6 motorway but is not now served by a railway station, this having opened in 1832 and closed in 1950.[2] The proposed High Speed 2 line will connect to the West Coast Main Line at the site of the closed station, allowing high-speed services to continue north to Wigan North Western, Carlisle, Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central.
