has gloss | eng: Hest Bank North Junction is a railway junction in Lancashire where the Morecambe Branch Line joins the former LNWR line (now the WCML) in the down direction between Lancaster and Carnforth. It is also known as Morecambe North Junction. This line is currently being considered to become a Community Railway. Hest Bank railway station was situated here until its closure on 3 February 1969.

It is also the only location on the entire 401 mile (643 km) WCML where the coastline and Irish Sea is visible from the railway. |
