Travelling from St Helen's to Wigan and approaching Ince Moss Junction, on the west side of the line there are five or more abandoned tracks among the birch trees which have established themselves there.
Could anyone tell me, please, why these tracks were there?
Given the amount of steel and sleepers there, why might it not have been prudent for BR/Railtrack/Network Rail to have reclaimed them before a wood established itself? Could this area have been yet another hole in the asset register?
