From Saturday, 22nd October through to Sunday, 30th October, Network Rail will be replacing eight sets of points, renewing 1,000 metres of trackwork and moving signalling and overhead power line equipment to match the new track layout in Wigan,
One matter that will be of interest to rail enthusiasts, is that during the time of these works, a non-stop service from Manchester Victoria to Wigan North Western will run on an hourly basis, via the proposed route that the Manchester to Scotland EMU services will eventually be taking. I understand that the Northern Rail website will be carrying timetable information about the emergency service provision that will affect services both through Atherton and through Bolton.
