Summerseat railway station serves the village of Summerseat, in Greater Manchester, England. It is a stop on the heritage East Lancashire Railway, which runs for 12 miles between Template:Rws and Template:Rws.
History
The station was built by the East Lancashire Railway and opened on 25 September 1846.[1]
The line through Ramsbottom had initially been constructed by the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway, authorised on 4 July 1844, but that company was absorbed by the East Lancashire Railway (ELR) on 21 July 1845. The line was completed from Clifton Junction through Template:Rws and Template:Rws to Template:Rws, enabling through trains to operate from Template:Rws.[1]
The line was extended by the ELR from Stubbins Junction, just north of Ramsbottom, to Accrington on 18 September 1848. In turn, the ELR was absorbed by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway (LYR) on 13 May 1859.[1]
From 1923, the station was operated by the London Midland & Scottish Railway until nationalisation on 1 January 1948, when it came under the control of the London Midland Region of British Railways. It closed to passengers on 5 June 1972, although the line remained open for freight until 1980.[2]
It was reopened by the East Lancashire Railway on 25 July 1987.[3]
Services
The East Lancashire Railway operates every weekend throughout the year, with additional services on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between Easter and the end of September.[4]
