Entwistle railway station (first opened in 1848) is 5+3⁄4 miles (9.3 km) north of Bolton and serves the village of Entwistle. It is also the closest station to Edgworth. Owing to the remote location and low passenger numbers, Entwistle was a request stop for several years. After 21 May 2023, it was no longer a request stop. It is served by Northern services on the Ribble Valley line towards Blackburn and Clitheroe in England.
