Ride Taxis covers Euxton village with private hire available any time of day or night. If you need a euxton taxi to Chorley for shopping, a run to Leyland for Runshaw College, or a ride home from Buckshaw Parkway station. We have drivers covering the village and every road out of it. Euxton sits on the corridor between Chorley and Leyland, with Buckshaw Village growing fast next door, and our drivers know every turn. Open the app, set your pickup, and your taxi is on its way.
These are the places our drivers know best, the destinations Euxton passengers book most, with pickup tips you won't find on Google Maps.
The village centre runs along Wigan Road with the Bay Horse pub, St Mary's Church, and a row of local shops. Residential streets branch off into the surrounding area. Taxi runs from here typically head south to Chorley or north to Leyland. The two nearest town centres with everything the village doesn't have.
The large housing development right on Euxton's doorstep has its own railway station at Buckshaw Parkway. New residents, station commuters, and families all need transport. Whether it's a station pickup, a run into Chorley, or a late connection home. The app handles it. Set your pin on any street in Buckshaw and your driver finds you.
One of Lancashire's largest further education colleges, sitting just over the boundary in Leyland. Students from Euxton and surrounding villages commute here daily. When the bus timetable doesn't match the class schedule. Which happens more often than it should. A taxi fills the gap. About six minutes from Euxton village.
The Balshaw Lane end of Euxton has its own character. Balshaw's CE High School, local shops, and residential streets running towards the A49. School runs, after-school pickups, and evening trips out all start from these streets.
The public golf course on Euxton Park draws players from across the area. Post-round trips to Chorley for food, or simply a ride home after 18 holes. Golfers without a lift use the app.

Euxton has 1 train station and 1 bus route connecting to the wider area. But there's a big difference between “a bus exists” and “a bus that gets you where you need to be, when you need to be there.”
Euxton is served by 1 station on the West Coast Main Line (local services), connecting you to Preston, Wigan, Manchester and beyond. The station is Euxton Balshaw Lane.
Need to catch a train? We'll get you to the platform on time. Book a ride to the station and skip the parking fees and the walk from the car park.
| Station | Line | Key Destinations |
|---|---|---|
| Euxton Balshaw Lane | West Coast Main Line (local services) | Preston, Wigan, Manchester, Bolton |
Euxton is served by 1 bus route connecting to Chorley. Services run regularly on weekdays but frequencies drop in the evenings and on Sundays.
Buses do run on Sundays and evenings, but frequencies drop significantly, and some local services finish early. If you're relying on a bus after 7pm or on a Sunday, check the timetable carefully. A taxi is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
| Route | From → To | Weekday | Sunday | Last Bus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125 Stagecoach | Euxton → Chorley / Preston | Every 30 min | Reduced Sundays | ~22:00 |
Timetables verified March 2026 via bustimes.org and operator websites. Frequencies are approximate and may vary by time of day.
We're not going to pretend the bus or train doesn't exist. But when you're travelling with family, carrying luggage, or heading somewhere at an awkward hour, the maths tells a story the timetable doesn't.
Walk-up anytime singles from Euxton Balshaw Lane are priced per person. Multiply that by a family of four and the taxi starts looking very different. Factor in lugging suitcases across platforms, waiting for connections, and the walk from the station at the other end, and it's not even close.

For shorter local journeys, the bus can be good value if you're on your own. But add a second person and the gap narrows fast. Add kids, luggage, or a Sunday timetable and it disappears entirely.

A note on the above: we do our best to keep these times and fares accurate, but we're a busy taxi firm, not a travel agency. If something doesn't look right, give us a shout and we'll fix it. In the meantime, book a Ride and leave the timetables to someone else.
Price is only part of the story. Here's what each option actually looks like when you factor in everything else.

Every Ride booking supports a local driver and their family right here in Euxton. Our drivers live in the communities they serve. They know the backroads, the shortcuts, and which streets flood when it rains. When you choose Ride over a national app or a bus company headquartered 200 miles away, that money stays in East Lancashire.
If you've ever used one of the big ride-hailing apps, your driver has probably asked you how much you paid. There's a reason for that. Those faceless algorithms take an ever-growing cut of what your local driver earns, sometimes 40% or more, while offering no real customer support, no local phone number, and no accountability when things go wrong. Convenience shouldn't come at someone else's expense.
With Ride, your driver keeps a fair share. If there's a problem, you speak to a real person, not a chatbot, not a ticket queue, not an automated email. We're a Lancashire business built by people who live here, for people who live here. That matters.
You can only book through our app, but we're always here if you need us. Email support@ride-taxis.co.uk, or message us through the app. Real people, real answers.
With over 52,000 jobs a week across Lancashire, we made a choice: put our drivers on the road, not on the phones. The app lets you book in seconds, see your fare upfront, and track your driver in real time. No hold music, no miscommunication, no “can you spell that street again?” It means our team can focus on what actually matters: getting cars to you faster and keeping the service running smoothly.
But if anything goes wrong, whether it's a query, a complaint, or a lost item, you'll always get through to a real person. That's the difference. We streamlined the booking, not the support.

Fares, routes, and everything you need to know about booking a taxi in Euxton
Euxton sits between Chorley and Leyland but belongs to neither. Taxi firms based in either town sometimes treat the village as an afterthought. Too far north for one, too far south for the other.
Ride Taxis covers the corridor properly. Wigan Road, Balshaw Lane, every street in Buckshaw Village. The app shows your fare before you book. No meter anxiety. Track your driver on the map from the moment you confirm. College runs, station pickups, late evenings. All covered.
Between two towns. Never between the cracks.
