It was located on the Bolton and Leigh Railway line which ran from Bolton Great Moor Street to Leigh Station and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and later to Kenyon Junction. HistoryThe Bolton and Leigh Railway (B&LR) opened Bag Lane station as one of the original stations on the line on 11 June 1831.[1] The B&LR became part of the Grand Junction Railway in 1845 which became part of the London and North Western Railway (L&NWR) in 1846.[2] The original "spartan" single platform station was constructed on the East side of the single track line in the centre of Bag Lane village, opposite the Railway Inn.[3][4] The station was renamed Atherton in 1847.[5] The station was rebuilt in 1880 when the line was doubled. The new station having two platforms with canopies. The platforms were accessed by an underground passage from a new road, Railway Street.[6][7] There was an adjacent goods station capable of handling "Live Stock, Horse Boxes and Prize Cattle Vans". The goods yard was equipped with a 10 ton crane.[8] The L&NWR became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) during the Grouping in 1923. The station was renamed Atherton Bag Lane on 2 June 1924 to distinguish it from the Atherton Central on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.[9][10] It passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and was closed by the British Transport Commission six years later.[11] The line closed to all traffic in the late 1960s and in 1970 the road was re-laid over its original path.[12] {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Atherleigh Line and station closed |next=Chequerbent Line and station closed |route=Bolton and Leigh Railway London and North Western Railway |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=22}} 2. ^{{harvnb|Awdry|1990|pp=78&88}} 3. ^{{harvnb|Sweeney|1996|p=26}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Location of Bag Lane station on a 1845 Lancashire XCIV OS six-inch published in 1849|url=https://maps.nls.uk/view/102344048#zoom=5&lat=3893&lon=10078&layers=BT|website=National Library of Scotland |accessdate=18 December 2018}} 5. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=21}} 6. ^{{harvnb|Sweeney|1996|p=26}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Location of Bag Lane station on a 1905 Lancashire XCIV.SE OS six-inch published in 1909|url=http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16&lat=53.5301&lon=-2.5045&layers=6|website=National Library of Scotland |accessdate=18 December 2018}} 8. ^{{Harvnb|The Railway Clearing House|1904|p=29}} 9. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=21}} 10. ^{{harvnb|Sweeney|1996|p=25}} 11. ^{{harvnb|Butt|1995|p=21}} 12. ^{{harvnb|Sweeney|1996|p=25}} Sources
