The Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Society is the source of information about the railway company which built Lostock Hall shed. It is renowned for its high quality publications, with an active and growing membership covering the entire country and beyond. Modelling of L&Y aspects is a particular feature for many members.
Preston Station - Past & Present is our sister website. Established in 2007, it has been responsible for bringing together many of the people who have made this site possible. It covers every aspect of our local main-line station ... from the history of the building and railways which serve it, to current news and events, such as main line steam and preserved diesel rail-tours.

What you have just been reading is, of course, only a small part of the story of Lostock Hall MPD …. all of it having been gratefully received from a mere handful of contributors who have so generously assisted us to-date.
There are obviously many more stories out there just waiting to be told … only these haven’t as yet been passed on to us! Therefore, in order to start filling-in many missing pieces in this, still very incomplete, jigsaw, please do now consider making a contribution of your own.
Items of information and scanned photographs would be most welcomed. Alternatively, you might wish to share your footplate experiences by meeting up for a pint and a natter in the pub, or, failing that, through merely participating in our “Discussion Forum” (as many already have done). Regardless of how you make contact and irrespective of whatever manner you feel you may be able to assist, please DO get in touch!
