The earlier pre-1994 station

Morecambe Promenade Station was a railway station in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. It was opened on 24 March 1907 by the Midland Railway and closed in February 1994. After twelve weeks break in passenger service for the revision of track work and signalling a new Morecambe station was opened on a site closer to the town centre.

The station opened as Morecambe and was renamed Morecambe Promenade in 1924. It reverted to Morecambe in 1968 and remained so until closure.
