Hest Bank South Junction is a railway junction in Lancashire, England.[1] It is located where the Morecambe Branch Line joins the former London and North Western Railway (LNWR) line (now the West Coast Main Line (WCML)) in the up direction between Lancaster and Carnforth. It is also known as Morecambe South Junction. This line is currently being considered to become a community railway.
