Kearsley station has had several name changes over its lifetime. When opened in 1838 it was named Ringley, quickly changing to Stoneclough, before migrating via Kearsley & Stoneclough to just Kearsley in 1903.
Another station with a similar nomenclature trajectory originally opened as Newburgh, becoming Newburgh for Parbold, then Parbold for Newburgh and finally today's Parbold.
