Following the original station's closure, a new station named Balshaw Lane and Euxton, between Coppull and Leyland[2] and about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) south of the original Euxton station, was opened by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) on 2 September 1905. Although closed as part of the Beeching axe in 1969, the station reopened in 1998 and is now known as Euxton Balshaw Lane railway station.[3]
