Bacup railway station served the town of Bacup, in Rossendale, Lancashire, England, from 1852 until its closure in 1966. It was the terminus of two lines: one from Rawtenstall and the other from Rochdale.
History
Opened by the East Lancashire Railway, it was taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1859. It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923.[1]
The LMS closed the line from Rochdale in June 1947, shortly before the station passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
It was closed by the British Railways Board, as a result of the Beeching cuts of the mid-1960s. The line was cut back to Template:Rws in 1966. Until the very day of closure, trains ran every half an hour on weekdays and every fifteen minutes on Saturdays.[1]

The site today
Few traces of the station remain today, as the site has now been redeveloped as industrial units. Part of an original boundary wall is extant.[1]
