The Loopline
The Tyldesley Loopline was the Manchester and Wigan Railway line from Eccles to the junction west of Tyldesley station and its continuance south west via Bedford Leigh to Kenyon Junction. The line opened on September 1st 1864 with a branch line leaving the Tyldesley to Eccles line at Roe Green with stations at Walkden, Little Hulton and Plodder Lane was opening in 1870.
The line closed in 1969. The former trackbed which passes through the Wigan MBC area was reserved in the Unitary Development Plan in case the rail route could be reinstated. Salford City Council has used the trackbed of the railway for recreational purposes turning it into a rail trail, part of which can be seen here at Roe Green.
