I'm not sure I understand this. On a Sunday there is an additional 23:35 Todmorden to Manchester Victoria, this calls at all stops apart from Walsden. I don't understand the reasoning for missing out Walsden but then proceeding to call at all other stops to Manchester, including Moston which has significantly less passengers.

Possibly lack of West Yorkshire PTE funding for the stop (which I presume would be in excess of the service requirement)?
Just looked at the times for that line and there's a 22:17 Leeds to Victoria which calls at Walsden at 23:21 but runs non-stop from Rochdale to Victoria - so there's your answer Walsden gets the ex-Leeds train stopping there, Moston gets the very slightly later ex-Blackburn train stopping there. Walsden gets 100,000 journeys per annum so honestly it's lucky it gets a service at 23:21 on a Sunday, many busier stations are closed by that time on Sundays.
