Notes: Hey's Crossing Halt was one of three halts opened between 1906 - 1911 by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on their Ormskirk to Rainford Junction line to serve a Railmotor service; Hey's Crossing was the last to be opened in 1911. (Ormskirk paper for 28th September 1911 lists the station as 'now open'). The service operated 19 return trips between Ormskirk and Rainford Junction . By the 1930s the successor company the LMS had replaced the railmotor with a push and pull locomotive and coaches.

By the middle of the 20th century traffic passenger numbers had dropped and all of the halts including Hey's Crossing closed in 1951. A passenger service still operated between Rainford Junction and Ormskirk calling at the only intermediate station with full facilities on the line at Skelmersdale. However even this service was axed on 5.11.1956. The line lingered on for goods services until 1964. It is hard to see why there was ever a station here as it would have only served 2-3 farms, plus a few houses about ½ mile away.
