Good photographs can be taken on the station, especially including the architecture. Views over the station can also be had from the road bridge at the east end of the platforms, though the parapet of this is quite high. There is also a road bridge about a quarter of a mile west of the station. This carries the A590 over the line, so is very busy with traffic, but there is a grass area immediately over the track on the east side from which you can get good shots of the semaphores and signal box as a train leaves for Barrow. To reach this from the station, turn left over the road bridge, left again, and this road will bring you onto the A590 which you follow to the bridge. Being roughly east-west at this point, the light is best in a morning for trains towards Lancaster and in the afternoon for those heading for Barrow.
