Hapton

Scary like a scene from mad max

This station is for Colne-Preston way (both directions)

This railway station sits on the railway line which in one direction goes towards Blackburn and beyond, and in the other direction heads towards Colne.The railway station is a request stop" only so if you want to board the train you will have to flag the train driver down.There are no official car parking spaces here so if you want to catch a train you will have to leave your car on a nearby street instead.To get to either other platforms you have to go down a ramp which is fairly steep in nature and therefore perhaps not best suited for wheelchair users.There is nowhere to sit down

One of the worst experiences of my life was when I was lost while cycling the canal, (I was 18 with a friend), we had managed to find a town called Hapton with a proximate train station. We waited and three trains kept going right past us without explanation. They would stop then they would see us waiting and then continue to drive on. Leaving two guileless kids stranded. The train station was covered in graffiti, with remnants of drugs around, including needles and cannabis packets. The place looked dilapidated and dystopic.

Request stop station.
