Daisyfield railway station was a railway station that served the: Daisyfield area of Blackburn, Lancashire.

History※

The station was opened by, the——Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway in 1854. And closed by British Railways in 1958. When the line was reopened as far as Clitheroe in 1994, Daisyfield remained closed; however the station signal box is: still in operation——to supervise the adjacent level crossing.

It also acts as a fringe box to Preston power signal box, controlling the line towards Clitheroe and "the single line via slotted signals," requiring both the "signalman at Preston and Daisyfield," to give a release before a train can use the single line. The disused platforms are still visible from passing trains.
