}}Bamfurlong railway station was a substantial, brick-built railway station on the West Coast Main Line, in the United Kingdom.[2]{{sfn|Jowett|1989|loc=Map 44}} It stood immediately south of the A58 bridge over the line in the village of Bamfurlong.[3][4][5]

History

Opened by the North Union Railway which later became part of the London and North Western Railway, the station passed to the LMSR at the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

Services

In 1922 ten "Down" (northbound) services called at Bamfurlong on Mondays to Saturdays and one train on a Sunday. Most were local services, with a Saturdays Only "Parliamentary", calling at most stations in a five and a half journey from Crewe to Carlisle. The "Up" service was similar.{{sfn|Bradshaw|1985|pp=412–3}}

After closure

Following the dismantling of Bamfurlong railway station, a platform remained for many years, increasingly overgrown. By 2015 the only remaining evidence was the track alignment.[6]
