The Wigan Branch Railway (WBR) was authorised on 29 May 1830 to connect the town of Wigan to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway at Шаблон:Rws, and it opened on 3 September 1832. A railway route between Wigan and the town of Preston, in the form of the Wigan & Preston Railway, was authorised by Parliament on 22 April 1831; but before it was built, this company amalgamated with the WBR under an Act of 22 May 1834, to form the North Union Railway (NUR) - the first railway amalgamation to be sanctioned by Act of Parliament.Шаблон:Sfn The line was opened throughout between Wigan and Шаблон:Stnlnk on 31 October 1838,Шаблон:Sfn and Boar's Head station opened the same day;Шаблон:Sfn it was the first station on the route to the north of Wigan.[1]

Trains on the section between Wigan and Шаблон:Stnlnk, via Boar's Head, were operated by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).[2]
