Trains from Wigan, Hindley and Atherton

It appears there's engineering works and rail replacement bus service between Hindley, Atherton and Bolton to Manchester. There's currently nothing showing on the National Rail website about it but as you can see from below, the planner shows a bus calling all stations Wigan to Manchester Victoria via Hindley and Atherton. There is a direct Wigan, Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Road/Manchester Piccadilly.

Come and tell Cameron to frack off back to Eton

On Thursday 8th August Tory PM David Cameron is expected to visit Wigan on the invitation of Wigan Athletic's £multi-millionaire owner Dave Whelan to take a look around the new Wigan Youth Zone project in the centre of town.

A group of us have come together to organise the type of WIGAN reception the two faced Tory liar deserves!

We think the ordinary townsfolk of the Borough who are suffering badly at the hands of his Government of the rich for the rich need to let him know in no uncertain terms that he and his Government's policies are NOT WELCOME in our Borough! NOT NOW - NOT EVER!

Join us on the day - BRING YOUR POTS & PANS & anything else which might make a noise. Full details to be announced as his itinerary becomes known. 

Provisional assembly point outside Wigan College, Parson's Walk. 9.30am
