Layton railway station (England)
The railway line to Blackpool North, which was originally a branch off the line between Preston and Fleetwood, was opened by the Preston and Wyre Railway (PWR) on 29 April 1846.Layton still has the air of an old-fashioned commuter station, although these days most workers go from here to Blackpool or Preston.Prior to and during World War II, the station had extensive sidings for goods wagons.Some served the Crossley Bros sawmill which occupied the site of today's retail development,[6] and others served the borough council's transport depot on Depot Road.[7] There is a basic hourly service in each direction throughout the week westbound to Blackpool North and eastbound to Manchester Airport, with additional calls during peak times.
