Tyldesley
Although it closed in 1969, and was lifted soon afterwards, it wasn't until 2016 that five miles of guided busway was constructed on the Leigh and Tyldesley loop line between Ellenbrook and Leigh. Tyldesley is the main intermediate town and its bus interchange, seen here looking west in February 2021, is built on the site of the railway goods yard, the island in the turning circle being the exact location of the goods shed. The car park beyond the lights is on the site of the station forecourt and buildings with the busway to Leigh passing through the line of the platforms.
