Today
Today the line is the part of the West Coast Main Line between Preston and Lancaster. It was electrified by overhead gantry in the early 1970s.
The North Union station at Preston is now Preston railway station. The L&CR Lancaster Castle railway station is now known as Lancaster station. None of the intervening stations have survived.

Famous quotes containing the word today:

—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
“The poet is he who can write some pure mythology today without the aid of posterity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
