General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just been for a walk along the remains of what once was the famous Pemberton Loop Line...

It ran from Hindley Junction to Pemberton Junction at Little Lane.

The line closed in 1969.

There are still high embankments along the Scotsmans's Flash section, but the two bridges over the main roads are well gone.

It was once a busy by-pass of Wigan Wallgate and many football and Grand National specials went over the metals...

It is still a nice walk and the views of the Flash are nice in sunny weather...

I love railways...Always have done...Loads of industrial history
