Walkden
All the original L&Y stations on the direct 1888 Wigan (Crow Nest Junction) to Salford line have distinctive island platforms. Swinton, Atherton and Walkden also retain their impressive L&Y canopies. The waiting shelter under the canopy at Walkden looks superfluous but the station is on an embankment, the platforms are exposed and it keeps the wind out.
