History
The station opened on 1 February 1943, to serve nearby military establishments: a Royal Ordnance Factory at Risley, and a Royal Navy training camp. A single-track private railway left the Wigan line just to the south of Newchurch Halt, and ran into the Royal Ordnance Factory.[2]
The station closed on 2 November 1964, when passenger services were withdrawn from the Wigan line.[2][3]
