Buckshaw Parkway railway station
Buckshaw Parkway is a British railway station〔(Buckshaw Parkway Train Station ), Buckshaw Village Community Association.〕 which opened on 3 October 2011〔 on the Manchester to Preston Line, near Euxton Junction with the West Coast Main Line. It is in Buckshaw Village, formerly the Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF Chorley) in the village of Euxton, on the site of the four-platform ROF station "halt" that was finally cleared in the early 2000s, having remained virtually intact until the 1970s.
== History ==
The station gained planning permission in 1999. It was put on hold due to a funding shortfall, but it was announced in 2009 that £3.3 million had been allocated by Lancashire County Council from the Community Investment Fund. Construction was expected to begin in early 2010 and be completed in the same year,〔 but a further funding shortfall resulted in the designs for the ticket office being scaled down. Contractors started work in October 2010 and the station was completed by autumn 2011. The cost of the station now stands at £6.8 million.〔 The station opened on 3 October 2011.
The first train arrived on time with journalists from a local paper, The Chorley Guardian, seeking interviews with waiting passengers. IT Worker Alex Howarth was the first passenger from the station, whilst a Mr Brown was the first person to buy a ticket from the station.〔Kelly, Robert (5 October 2011). "Hottest Ticket in Town". ''Chorley Guardian'', p. 13.〕
