Pleasington railway station serves the village of Pleasington in Lancashire, England. The station is on the East Lancashire Line 3 miles (5 km) west of Blackburn railway station. It is managed by Northern, who also provide all the passenger services calling there.

It is unstaffed and has no permanent buildings (other than standard waiting shelters). A long-line PA system and digital information screens are provided, but there are no ticket vending facilities available (so passengers intending to travel must buy tickets on the train). Step free access for disabled travellers is provided by means of ramps to each platform.^[1] A £2,000 refurbishment scheme at the station funded by East Lancs Community Rail Partnership and the local authority was carried out in 2015 by a consortium of college students, community workers & volunteers.^[2]

Services

Monday to Saturdays, there is an hourly service from Pleasington towards Preston and Blackpool South, westbound and Blackburn, Burnley Central and Colne, eastbound. There is a two-hourly service in each direction on Sundays.^[3]

From 14 May 2012 Pleasington became a request only stop, in addition to Hapton, Burnley Barracks and Huncoat.^[4]
