Time for an overnight break. A tad too early for trains from nearby Appley Bridge which do not start until 10:00 on Sundays, so we remain with the 635. We board the 0727 Go North West Bee Network service 635 to Standish Lower Ground (Wigan Lower Road/St Anne's Primary School), arriving there at 0740 on Sunday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
From personal experience, the service 635 is the only service bus to serve Standish Lower Ground (besides the school buses), so we next board the 0813 Go North West service 635 to Crooke (the bus stop adjacent to Princess Road on Wigan Lower Road) that arrives there at 0838 on Sunday.

I have a second cousin who lives in Standish Lower Ground, having moved there from Coppull.

It looks as though the only non-schoolbus here is again Go North West's 635, so we depart on that at 0938, alighting at Wigan Bus Station at 0948 in Sunday.

That looks to me to be actually the 1504 from around the corner at the Library?

We then walk 4 minutes to Accrington railway station where, wishing to leave the north-west, we depart on Northern's 1B34 at 1618 towards York. We alight at Church Fenton at 1746 on Monday.
