Lostock Junction, in Bolton, is indeed very busy in this 8mm reel from filmmaker George Higginson, showing the station in its later years. Opened in 1848, rail traffic increased with the opening of nearby cotton mills and the De Havilland propellers factory. The 1960s Beeching cuts, however, saw the withdrawal of goods facilities, and the station finally closed to passengers on 7th November 1966.
