The Fleetwood freight line only went as far as ICI at Burn Naze, the line to fleetwood from there was lifted years ago. I believe that the Burn Naze line was lifted last year leaving a "stump" of about half a mile from Poulton junction.

A year or so ago somebody who lives in Fleetwood mentioned to a friend of mine that there were plans to reopen the line from Poulton Junction to Fleetwood. I've just had a rummage on Google and turned this up
