Chequerbent railway station
Chequerbent railway station was in Westhoughton to the south-west of Bolton, Greater Manchester, on the line between Bolton Great Moor St and Kenyon Junction.
==History==
The Bolton and Leigh Railway (B&LR) opened for goods traffic in 1828, with passenger services following in 1831. The line included a number of steep inclines. Two of these were worked using ropes hauled by stationary engines, as opposed to locomotives used on the flatter sections. To avoid these inclines and allow steam locomotives to haul trains for the entire journey, the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), successor to the B&LR, built deviations over easier gradients. This required the resiting of Daubhill and Chequerbent stations.
The station opened in 1885, replacing an earlier station which had opened in 1831. The new station was sometimes known as ''Chequerbent for Hulton Park''. The route of the new line passed under the A6, whereas the previous line had crossed at road level, so the new platforms were reached via two flights of steps.
The station closed to passengers in 1952, though local passenger trains continued to pass through for two more years and excursion traffic for four years after that. It finally closed completely in 1965.
