Collected date	16/09/16

Whalley station is another station on the Ribble Valley Line to Blackburn, reopened like the rest in the mid-90s. It has two platforms on an embankment with a subway connecting the two.

Platform 1 has one entrance on the station's east side, through its small car park:

This slightly outdated notice dating from the station's reopening still sits in the car park:

At the southern end of platform 1 is a second exit/entrance:

The exit leads down this staircase to a rather nice wooden arched entrance on Mitton Road:

Just to the left of this entrance is the bridge which carries the railway over the road:

Halfway up the steps is this underpass to the other side of the line. Note all the supports for canopies that are no longer there:

Looking back down the steps towards the subway:

The old station building backs on to platform 2, and there are steps from the platform down to ground level - the steps down to the subway are just behind the wall on the left:

The entrance to platform 2:

The fencing alongside the steps makes for a narrow length of disused platform edge:

...and where it's wider there's a sign telling you not to get off there anyway:
