Regarding site of former station
The statement "The site of the former (goods) station is now occupied by the University of Central Lancashire's Roeburn Hall student residence" statement is incorrect. The site to which this refers was in fact the location of the Maudlands railway station, the terminus of the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway which ran from Fleetwood.

Maudland Bridge station was located on the southern side of Maudland Street, which runs westward from the junction of Maudland Bank and Leighton Street, and Roeburn Hall lies to the WEST of the junction. Basically, the station was across from the Foster and JB Firth buildings at the rear of UClan's Engineering Innovation Centre, which stands on the eastern corner of Maudland Street i.e. it was to the northeast of Maudlands station, which was where Leighton and Roeburn Halls stand today.

The location of this station is clearly marked on old maps and correctly depicted in the Maudlands station article, and can be clearly seen to the southwest of the entrance to the Miley Tunnel in this photo, which also shows the old bridge that the canal ran across and from which the station got its name.

I have therefore updated this article accordingly to the location as described above. Blammy1 (talk) 17:37, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
