Wrea Green railway station was on the Blackpool South to Kirkham line. It served the village of Wrea Green, in Lancashire, England, and closed in 1961. [ [http://www.bafrua.connectfree.co.uk/wreagrn.htm "Blackpool & Fylde Rail Users’ Association—Wrea Green"] , accessed 17 October 2007]
The station opened in 1846. A single-track line to Lytham branched off the Kirkham-to-Poulton line at right angles, heading south-south-west to Wrea Green.
When the line was connected to the Blackpool and Lytham Railway in 1874, the line was doubled and the corner between Kirkham and Wrea Green was cut by a new southwesterly line. [Hughes, R.V. (1931), [http://Lytham-online.co.uk/Main%20Menu/Railways/Lytham.Goods.Yard.htm “Early Coast travel”] , "LMS Magazine", Feb. 1931, accessed online 18 October 2007]
