Between 1863 and 1866 there was another short-lived station called Ribbleton, closer to Preston.

The line through the station continued to be used for goods trains to and from Courtaulds Red Scar Works until 1980.

The route on either side is now a combined cycle path and footpath.

The station building still stands, and was a private house with the former trackbed through its garden until 2021 when it was bought by Preston Trampower, intending to use it as their headquarters.
