There appear to be no onward transport opportunities from here and nowhere else within 0.5 miles this evening or on Sunday, so we have to wait until Monday for the 07:27 Greater Anglia service 2K58 to Eccles Road, arriving at 07:58 Saturday morning.
Surely Monday?

There is also a severe lack of trains and other transport here, so we board the 16:10 East Midlands Trains service to Widnes, arriving there at 21:06 on a Monday.

Resisting the idea of the 20:00 flight to the Isle of Man or the 21:55 to Budapest, we instead board the much less exciting 19:25 Arriva Merseyside service 89 to St Helens, adj Hall Street, arriving at 20:29 Tuesday evening.

Assuming we're at Parkin Lane (as I can't seem to find a turning circle and an arrival time of 1328 only quotes that above stop), we then walk around the corner to Market Place, where we board the 1341 First Halifax, Calder Valley & Huddersfield service 324 to Huddersfield (Chapel Hill/Colne Road), arriving there at 1400 on Wednesday afternoon.
