Leigh
Much of the network of lines and stations around Leigh has vanished without trace since closure. This is the location of Leigh station itself, which closed with the 'Tyldesley Loop' in 1969. The guided busway follows the rail route into the town but the old line and the station were on an embankment that has been swept away. The buildings on the right are on the site of the goods yard and beyond here the line of the route has disappeared under town centre developments.
