White Bear railway station, on Station Road, Adlington, Lancashire, England, was on the Lancashire Union Railway line between St Helens and Blackburn.
[2] The station opened on 1 December 1869 one month after the line that it was situated on, the Lancashire Union Railway from Boars Head Junction in Standish to Rawlinson Bridge, opened for goods traffic.
Passenger services also opened on the same date at Boars Head Junction and at Red Rock.
The joint line was constructed because the Wigan coal owners wanted better transportation links to the mills and factories of East Lancashire.
The station was closed to passengers on 4 January 1960, but the line was used for freight and diversions until 1971.
