Formerly a four track main line through the heart of the Lancashire coalfield (Walkden was the NCB North West Area HQ) but all freight lines have gone now. By 2008 there was just a simple two track layout, albeit with semaphores still controlled from the refurbished signal box. 150147 heads away from the island platform for Salford and Manchester.
