Manchester - Southport Line via Wigan and Bolton: Heaton Bridge - Moor Lane
Our journey today starts at Southport Chapel Street and follows the line to Manchester Victoria via Bolton using Google Streetview images. Should you use the individual Google navigation tools, and wish to restore the page to its default views, just refresh the page.
As it takes a few seconds for each of the Google maps to be retrieved, the line is broken into sections, and generally these are station-to-station. Each Google Streetview image is presented facing the direction of travel, in this case eastwards. The intention is that to see the northwards view, the Google navigation tool needs to be used.
Heaton Brridge.
Lady Bridge Lane.
Mayor Street bridge, with Lostock bound Pacer
On the approaches to Bolton the line diappears into a short tunnel, so this view from Moor Lane is looking westwards, back towards Bolton.
