Chew Moor and Lostock Lane

edit

Two stations, Chew Moor and Lostock Lane, were recently added by Paul Sidorczuk (talk · contribs) and Dr Greg (talk · contribs), positioned between Bolton and Lostock Junction. I have my doubts about both of these. See

Chew Moor is mentioned as being on the Liverpool and Bury line "between Lostock Junction and Westhoughton" (Marshall 1969, p. 133), which could possibly be here. As for Lostock Lane, that station was on the Bolton-Preston line "4+12 miles from Bolton" (Marshall 1969, p. 78), and since Lostock Junction is three miles from Bolton, Lostock Lane can't have been between Lostock Junction and Bolton, but further west, about here (see Template talk:Manchester to Preston Line#Lostock Lane and Chew Moor), and so should definitely not be on this diagram. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
