Fleetwood railway station
There have been three locations for Fleetwood railway station in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. The first, from 1840 to 1883, was in Dock Street, opposite Church Street. The second, from 1883 to 1966, was in Queen's Terrace. From 1966 to 1970, the station previously known as Wyre Dock railway station was renamed "Fleetwood".
In 2009, the Association of Train Operating Companies proposed a new station at Fleetwood as part of a plan to expand the national rail network.

The Preston and Wyre Joint Railway from Preston to Fleetwood was originally opened on 15 July 1840,〔Suggitt, p.36〕 with a terminus in Dock Street, opposite Church Street.〔Mitchell & Hartley, Fig.4〕 (In the original plan for the new town, the station was to be at the end of London Street, directly from the Mount, but the plan was not followed.)〔Mitchell & Hartley, p.17〕 The single-track line ran over an embankment and a timber trestle bridge in straight line northwards across the marshy Wyre estuary, with the station at the far end of the bridge. Within six years the trestle became unsafe and the railway was re-routed slightly inland, and the track doubled. Beyond the passenger station was a goods station at the south end of Queen’s Terrace.〔
Between 1841 and 1848, Fleetwood was a part of the "West Coast Main Line" equivalent of its time. The fastest route from London to Glasgow was by train to Fleetwood, and thence by packet boat to Ardrossan. After 1848, the entire journey could be made by rail.〔〔Greville & Holt, p.96〕〔Welch, p.28〕
