Hello everyone, welcome to Rail vlog video!
Westhoughton Train Station lies between Hindley and Bolton which was built by the Liverpool and Bury Railway but came part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway.
The station is beautifully maintained by the Friends of Westhoughton Station. It is one of the most attractive railway stations in North West England... But was Westhoughton station the only station on that line? This journey by Sim0nTrains takes you along the 7 miles and 2 chain lines between Hindley and Bolton stopping off at Westhoughton Station which doesn't see many trains but there are a few surprises along this route!
It was Filmed on 28th December 2021
Hope you guys will love this video.

Thanks for the video, Simon! That looks like a very handy branch line to have and it will be even better when it gets electrified

Nice video Simon. Never been on this line however my train from Manchester to Blackpool stopped at Bolton years ago when I was younger! I enjoyed watching.

Fantastic Simon, brilliant line indeed I know what you mean about the 769s well weird seeing the TFW 769s which I would need to carry on with them before filming these, The Manchester & Bury line would've been a interesting one to ride on serving the Bury EMUs at one stage:)

@Sim0nTrains 2 жыл бұрын

Manchester Victoria to Bury, that would had been interesting but it all a Tram network now. I have been thinking about doing something for that line as well. Thanks PEP EMU FAN

brilliant im going to start off by saying even tho ive seen a few 796s around the North on electric but that is the very first time that ive heard a 796 on diesel but it sounds like a beast i cant wait for GWRs 796s to enter service than i can have a ride and listen for myself amyway its great to see Westhoughton again i rode that line in 2019 from Wigan to Bolton but back then my train started from Wigan North Western instead of Wallgate also its a nice line to ride and im liking Lotstock even tho ive sped passed while travelling between Preston and Bolton/Manchester

@ReubenAshwell 2 жыл бұрын

Nice short video. :) Love the info that you put into these videos. And yes the class 769's or converted class 319's, the diesel sounds on these just doesn't sound right to me as I've known the class 319's to be EMU's right from when I was very young.

@AndrewG1989 2 жыл бұрын

Westhoughton. Sounds really quite posh. And the line isn't electrified but good to see Northern's Class 769s in service.

Did cover this in the video, Lostock Station is on the Bolton to Preston line as the junction is before the station. However there was platforms on the Bolton to Wigan Line which Westhoughton is on but they were removed
