Rose Grove railway station in Lancashire, England serves the Rose Grove area in the west of Burnley, and the nearby town of Padiham. It is served by both the Calder Valley Line and the East Lancashire Line. It was once the terminus of the Great Harwood Loop between Blackburn and Burnley via Great Harwood and Padiham. The station is now a junction station for both the Calder Valley and East Lancashire lines.
History
The railway reached Rose Grove in 1848, and the East Lancashire Railway Company built the station to serve the Rose Grove area together with the town of Padiham, a slight distance away. Rose Grove was formerly the site of an engine shed, which was one of the last to house steam locomotives on British Railways. The station became unstaffed in the 1980s, following the demolition of the station buildings.
The last remnants of the Great Harwood Loop towards Template:Rws have also disappeared, the line having been closed in 1993 with the end of oil traffic to the power station there. The site is now occupied by the M65 motorway, which runs beside the railway at this point. During the mid to late 1980s,[1] Rose Grove was the starting point for an Inter City "Holidaymaker" Saturday service; in the 1989 timetable this ran as the 06:50 to Template:Rws via Preston and Birmingham New Street, leaving Paignton at 14:10 for the return journey.
Services
In the spring 2023 timetable, the station has two services per hour in each direction Mondays to Saturdays. One runs between Colne and Preston (the East Lancashire Line), whilst the other runs between Blackburn and Manchester Victoria via Template:Rws and Template:Rws (this resumed in 2015, after an absence of 50 years). Many of the latter services continue west of Manchester to Wigan Wallgate and Template:Rws.
On Sundays, the East Lancashire service drops to two-hourly (but running through to/from Template:Rws) while the service to/from Manchester remains hourly (and continues to Template:Rws).[2]
