With the barriers down across Midge Hall Lane, a West Yorkshire PTE Metrotrain branded Class 101 two-car DMU with Driving Trailer 54218 leading, was slowing to collect the single-line token from the signalbox at Midge Hall on March 1st 1986. The unit was working the 10.09 Preston to Ormskirk service and was running along one of the surviving platforms (complete with its derelict buildings, and rear goods shed in industrial use), that closed in 1961. With much development having taken place nearby since the 1980's, there has been an active ongoing campaign to have the station re-opened here.
