Bolton station was closed for maintenance work. Passengers for Manchester and Wigan were using buses instead. Bolton railway station is located on the Manchester spur of the West Coast Main Line and is managed by Northern Rail. The station was originally named Bolton Trinity Street to differentiate it from nearby Bolton Great Moor Street station which closed in 1954. Trinity Street station opened when the Manchester and Bolton Railway completed its route to Salford Central in 1838. The line extended to Manchester Victoria in 1843. Trains to Manchester Piccadilly and beyond began running in May 1988 with the opening of the Windsor Link.
