Wigan North Western is Wigan's largest and busiest station, located on Wallgate and is managed by Virgin Trains.

North Western serves destinations across the UK, including; Preston, Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester, Crewe, Birmingham and London. Services are provided by Virgin Trains, TransPennine Express and Northern.
Wigan Wallgate is located on Wallgate, a short distance from North Western station; all service and the station are provided by Northern. The station is on the Southport and Manchester Line and the branch to Kirby. Unlike North Western, Wallgate is served only by local trains towards Manchester, Southport and Kirby.
