Seeing Ron's stagecoach advert, I thought this might prove interesting.
An extract from Baines's 1825 Directory, showing transport available from Wigan at that time.
Robert Finney, shown as the Standish carrier, was my four times great grandfather.

Mick; Have you any info re the fares?
The bus fare from Shevington to Wigan, a distance of four miles, is now £2.50. In 1958 it was 4d.
