Instead of using this Communicate section. It would be more advantageous, and quicker for a lot of questions to be posted on the wiganworld Forums. There are people on these forums most of the day. Quite a few people who use those forums, don't use the communicate section. Prior to Brain removing the old forums, they were very busy and people looking for specific topics could get a relpy within hours if not minutes.
There are quite a few people who use the communicate section as if it were a forum.

Rothden, The whelley Loop Line closed around the mid 70s, so the bridge would have gone some time after that. Pretty sure there will be photo's of the bridge in the photo's of Wigan section.
