LMS2968 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Michael, this one is looking along the Manchester via Tyldesley branch , Crompton's Sidings box was on the right, with the WCML out of shot further to the right. It's from the same place as the lower shot in #16, and also #12, but looking the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboy Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Apologies for digging this old thread, but they've been cutting back the forest that has grown up at what remains of the branch, as supposedly they are going to be building a new depot for all of these "new" EMUs that the North West is getting.

Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 A mighty shame that the depot and surrounding lines cannot be put to better use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyboy Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I believe that there was a plan to turn it into a MU depot a few years ago and they even chopped down a lot of trees in preparation, but then they changed their mind and are building one at Blackburn King St sidings instead.
