Gathurst railway station
On the outskirts of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, the semi-rural Gathurst is a two-platform station on the Southport line north west of Wigan Wallgate station. The station also serves the nearby village of Shevington, indeed until 1973 (see British Rail Timetable of 1972) was named ''Gathurst for Shevington''.
The main stone-built station building survives adjacent to the Wigan-bound platform, but is now in use for non-railway purposes (as a public house), modest shelters now being provided on both platforms for rail travellers.
==History==
Opened by the Manchester and Southport Railway as a branch of the East Lancashire Railway on 9 April 1855, it was absorbed by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1885. The main stone-built station building was built during this time, in the stranded Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway style. Gathurst railway station then became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways
until the Privatisation of British Railways.
