History
editThe station was built by Thornton Cleveleys Urban District in 1932, and was used by Ribble Motor Services buses initially. Blackpool Corporation buses began serving it in 1940.
In 2024, a mural was unveiled inside the station, with a Star Wars theme, after nearby Cleveleys beach was used as a location for the American television series Andor. Christian Fenn was the artist.[3]
The station was refurbished in 2012.
