Cycleway on the former Whelley Loop Line
Cycleway on the former Whelley Loop Line
The line was an avoiding line for the West Coast Main Line, by-passing Wigan. It left the WCML south of Springs Branch sheds, and rejoined it south of Standish. For much of its length it is now a cycling route. From the green fingerpost sign in the pic, giving cycling times from here to various points around, there would appear to be a cycling network in the Borough, but it is little publicised.
