Preservation

Burn Naze Station in autumn 2013, just over six months after the Poulton & Wyre Railway Society took over restoration of the station

In spring 2013, the Poulton & Wyre Railway Society were granted an extension to their licence from Network Rail to work on the trackbed, covering the whole branch from Poulton. They then began work on clearing the platforms at Burn Naze Station. As of January 2024, the station has been cleared extensively and the society are continuing their clearance work ready for the line to reopen.[3]
