Standish railway station is a closed railway station in Standish, England, situated where the line bridged Rectory Lane (the B5239).
Standish was in the historic county of Lancashire.
The station was opened by the North Union Railway in 1838 as "Standish Lane". It was renamed as plain "Standish" by 1844. The North Union later became part of the London and North Western Railway.
The station joined the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping in 1923 and passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
The station closed in May 1949.
In 1922 eight "Down" (northbound) services called at Standish on Mondays to Saturdays. Most were local services, with a Saturdays Only "Parliamentary", calling at most stations in a five and a half journey from Crewe to Carlisle. No trains called on Sundays. The "Up" service was similar.
