Wallgate Parking Restrictions Near the Station
The station sits at 52 Wallgate, close to Wigan centre. This makes the marked pick-up area the relevant place for brief passenger movements rather than an assumption that nearby kerbside space is suitable for waiting.

Those charges describe the listed parking location, not a general permission to park anywhere on Wallgate.
