Old railway lines in Wigan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Old railway lines in Wigan
The railway system in Wigan took off around the 19th century during the industrial revolution. Wigan was once a proud town with railway stations widely available across the borough, used by both freight and passengers. Many lines were originally built for freight then as the owners saw the profitability of allowing passengers to travel on their lines they soon became open to passenger trains. After the Beeching Report (1963), which led to a lot of rural railway lines and stations closing, the railways and stations around Wigan began to become unused. one of the last lines to close was called the Whelley loop line which was closed to both freight and passengers in 1972. == History ==
Railways were used as a more efficient way of transporting goods and resources more quickly around the country than the canals could. This benefit led to more and more pit owners creating private railways leading from the canals and main railway lines, right up to their pits.
