Plank Lane railway station served the hamlet of Crankwood and the Plank Lane area of Leigh, England. Like many railways, the line passed between rather than through communities, with branches off to serve the key driver - goods, and in this area - coal. ==Location and nearby stations== The station was the only one on the Plank Lane Branch, which ran from junctions with the Eccles, Tyldesley and Wigan line south to Pennington.〔(The line and mileages via ''railwaycodes'' )〕 It was situated immediately north of the bridge over Crankwood Lane, which in 2015 is still a minor road.〔(The station site on a 1948 OS Map via ''npe maps'' )〕 Throughout this station's short life the GCR operated West Leigh and Bedford station a short distance to the west on the same country lane but on a different line. ==Opening and closure== The station opened in 1903 and closed in 1915, never to reopen. The line survived until well after WW2 but has since been lifted and in many places obliterated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plank Lane railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
