I think that there is some missing track and associated pointwork at Burscough Bridge in the earlier era of the sim. The Binliners for Appley Bridge are shown to run round at BB in the WTT for Summer 1992. Obviously if it wasn't contained within the set of data you have, thats totally understandable it wouldn't be included.

Sadly the only photo of additional infrastructure at BB in 1992 is this shot (not much but it does show that there was something there.....); https://www.flickr.com/photos/8arail/50591058033/in/photolist-2k5yoZg-2jinp89-YMH8Hw-dtCauJ-dXbrrg

When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

What earlier era of the sim? Wigan only has the one era.

there was a loop on the down side which allowed the Manchester - Appley liners to run round, however the Wigan simulation is based on the current arrangement at Burscough bridge, not the old one.

Indeed, ignore that bit, I almost posted this in the Warrington PSB section, then realised my error but forgot to edit that out!
