Wigan Wallgate

Wigan Wallgate railway station is one of two railway stations serving the town centre of Wigan in Greater Manchester, England. The station serves 2 routes, the Manchester-Southport Line and the Manchester-Kirkby Line. It is (16 miles) north west of Manchester Victoria. The station is managed by Northern, who operate all trains serving it. Wigan's other main station is Wigan North Western, which is about 110yd away, on the opposite side of the street named Wallgate. The apparent sharp increase in usage 2006 /7 (right) is in fact due to a change in the way passengers to and from "Wigan Stations" were allocated between Wigan Wallgate and Wigan North Western. The 2007 /8 blip is again due to the Strategic Rail Authority's constant attempts to allocate grouped stations' passengers accurately. DescriptionThere are three platforms, two through platforms and one bay platform for trains departing towards Southport or Kirkby. Platforms are below street level and reached via a flight of stairs from the street level concourse which contains a ticket office and a newsagent. However, a goods lift has been modified for passenger use to ensure step-free access to the platform.
