It used to be called Bispham if you are searching the internet.

And its supposed to be haunted, the ghost of a pointsman

Pointsman.

Location: Bispham (Lancashire) - Rail tracks
Type: Haunting Manifestation

Hi Royal Scot,
The book "Railways of Blackpool and the Fylde" by Barry McLoughlin published by Silver Link books; ISBN 1 85794 124 1, has quite a lot about Layton station with several photos both old and recent.
