Parton Halt Railway Station
Parton Halt railway station was opened by the LNWR and FR Joint Railway ("The Joint Line") in January 1915 and closed by the LMSR fourteen years later in 1929. The halt never appeared on any public timetable, as it was provided to enable workmen to get from to the isolated colliery, coke ovens and bi-products plant on the hilltop at Lowca. The halt was at the foot of steep tracks up to these workplaces. Location The line past the halt is clearly shown on standard railway maps, but the halt eludes them all; however, it is shown on contemporary OS maps.
