Maudlands railway station
Maudlands railway station (also known as Maudland railway station, or Preston Maudland(s)) was the original Preston terminus of the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway to , in Lancashire, England. It was located on Leighton Street.〔Hunt, D. (2003) ''The Wharncliffe Companion to Preston —An A to Z of Local History'', (Wharncliffe Books, Barnsley ), ISBN 1-903425-79-4, p.117〕 The line and the station opened on 15 July 1840.〔Suggitt, G. (2003, revised 2004) ''Lost Railways of Lancashire'', (Countryside Books, Newbury ), ISBN 1-85306-801-2, p.36〕 The line crossed the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway (L&PJR) on the level, immediately to the west of the station.〔Greville, M.D. and Holt, G.O. (1960) , ''Railway Magazine'', vol. 106, Feb. 1960 no. 706, p.96〕
By 1844, most of the line's trains were diverted along the L&PJR's line to use the main Preston Station instead. However, Maudlands Station continued to be used for excursions and as a goods station for several decades before its eventual closure and demolition, by 1885, to make way for an extension of the Longridge Branch Line. The remainder of the site was then used for a replacement goods station on the Longridge line which connected from the east.
The site is now occupied by Leighton Hall on Leighton Street and by the University of Central Lancashire’s Roeburn Hall, with the disused Longridge line running between them.
== Temporary station ==
For two days in 1991, the station name "Preston Maudlands" was revived for a temporary platform. It was located on the Blackpool Line adjacent to Tulketh Brow, used as a temporary terminus on 9–10 March 1991 to allow bridge maintenance.〔
