120 years ago today, the first passenger train arrived at Walkden station. The Friends of Walkden Station kindly organised a small stall and celebration this morning which was well appreciated by commuters who snapped up the available goody bags in no time at all. Northern Rail staff and the British Transport Police were also in attendance. Well done to Northern, BTP and especially the FOWS Committee for organising an excellent event!
