Salwick railway station is situated on the Preston-to-Blackpool railway line, miles (8 km) west of Preston, and is managed by Northern Rail. The station lies between Preston and Kirkham, near the village of Clifton.

The station was closed on 2 May 1938 along with Lea Road railway station to the east, but was reopened on 8 April 1940 to serve the adjacent industrial complex (Biddle, 1989; Bairstow, 2001).

ervices

Salwick is served by only three trains a day in each direction, but it is not a formal request stop; trains are timetabled to stop there (Network Rail, 2007). It is used by very few passengers (1,858 in 2004–5), but provides a commuter service for the workers at the nearby Springfields BNFL complex.
