Notes: White Moss Level 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. The service operated 19 return trips between Ormskirk
and Rainford Junction .
By the 1930's 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 White Moss 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.
