The road changes name again - from Whelley to Wigan Road (of which there are no less than 12 in the Borough, plus two Wigan Lanes). Cale Lane comes in from the right at the lights.

View from the top deck-23
Where the four lines meet! The oldest part of the former St John's CofE School lies waiting for its next life. It would be a shame if it ended up being demolished. Sadly, that's happened to many Wigan Geographs in the past.

Minewater Treatment Plant
I would love to explain what a "Sough" is, but all I can find out is that it's something to do with Mine drainage. This place takes nasty polluted water and makes it better. Tim Livesey has now written to advise that a Sough acts a bit like a field drain dug under otherwise sodden mineworkings.

View from the top deck-last stop
It really should be 'View of the back end of a bus', but that would have put it outside the series, and followers might have wondered what happened next. We are now just below the level of the canal, which has been brought up to this level via the 21 locks of the Wigan Flight - a rise of 200 feet.
