Wigan North Western
Yesterday due to the works Northern was running a Wigan North Western - Bolton Service using one of the Bay Platforms at North Western, It made me think, when was the last time the Bay Platforms hold a regular Service and when did Wigan North Western lose its link to Bolton?

Before Springs Branch came into use a few years ago, the Liverpool service always used Platforms 2 & 3. These are mainly used by Manchester trains these days although the 319's have been known to venture into there if there has been anything blocking Platform 6.

Is there any Northern Trains to Manchester left out of North Western as i thought the lot had moved over to Wallgate now

RE: Wigan North Western
There are still some peak hour trains which start from/terminate at North Western.
