Maudland Bridge or Maudland station
Does anybody know about a station called Maudland Bridge or Maudland?

According to a map of Preston dated about 1855 (published in Town and City Maps of the British Isles 1800-1855, by Ashley Baynton-Williams, 1992, ISBN 1 85891 039 0), there was a Maudland station at the junction of the Preston & Wyre line and the Preston & Lancaster line, and which appears to have been a terminus on the Fleetwood line.

Another WP editor has included Maudland Bridge on the Preston and Longridge Railway, which also joined the main line at that same junction (some time after 1855), with a station closure date of 1885.

I can't find any more information over the internet. --Dr Greg 13:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well it's in the station list for Preston and Longridge Railway. Maudland is a district of Preston, marked in present day OS maps. The junction on the main line where the Blackpool line diverges used to be called Maudland Junction. The 1849 OS 6 inch map shows the station. Quick, normally painstakingly exhaustive says:


 * Preston Maudlands opened 16 July 1840 on the Preston and Wyre Railway; closed 11 February 1844; service then diverted to main station; in practice most trains already using it; later excursion use.


 * Preston Maudland Bridge; opened 1 July 1857; terminus; closed 2 June 1930.


 * Preston Maudlands temporary station was used 9 and 10 March 1991 during bridge repairs. Afterbrunel (talk) 18:18, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
