Euxton (pronEng|ˈɛkstən) is a compact village with the towns of Leyland to the north and Chorley to the south-east. It is situated in the Borough of Chorley. Euxton also had a station at the Royal Ordnance Factory site, ROF Chorley, on the Preston to Manchester line; the station closed in 1965.fact|date=August 2008
The present station has two platforms on the slower north/south lines of the West Coast Main Line and is served by the Northern Rail company with trains to Blackpool North and Liverpool. Euxton Balshaw Lane does not have any full-time staff, PA system or ticket office, nor, unlike the recently opened Horwich Parkway railway station, any clocks or display screens.
When the nearby Buckshaw Village development is nearer completion, it is widely understood that a new station will be built close to the site of the Royal Ordnance station.
