Wigan Darlington Street railway station

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.
