1888 November A lamp room was added to the facilities at Accrington station. This was the work of Thomas Wrigley who charged £155 for his endeavours. December The station was again enlarged by the firm of Edward Taylor at a cost of £8,550. During 1888 the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway expanded its services with the cooperation of other companies, including the London & North Western Railway and the Midland Railway. These included reciprocal running rights and the apportionment of revenues. It may seem odd that people travelling between Accrington and Rawtenstall or Bacup would do so via Ramsbottom, or to Whalley or Clitheroe via Blackburn, but it must be remembered that at this time there was little alternative to travelling on the train.
