Wigan Darlington Street station was some way east of the two main stations (North Western and Wallgate), which are on the western edge of the town centre.
[1] The WJR was part of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (later to become the Great Central).
The permanent terminus – Wigan Central – was completed in 1892 a third of a mile nearer the town centre.
When that station opened Darlington Street closed to passengers, and became a goods depot.
With the exception of the "express" all trains called at all stations between Glazebrook and Wigan.
