Like most of the other original L&Y stations on this line Atherton retains the overall roof on its island platform (and semaphore signals until 2013). However the outer platforms on this former four track main line are disused. 142011, heading for Wigan and Southport in September 2008, is viewed from the covered footbridge that links the platform to the street level booking office.
