It's a shame about the public transport to Leigh because it is a fantastic ground. You would be better off getting a bus from Bolton than Wigan. It takes forever from Wigan.
It depends which bus you get - 600/601 takes ages through Ashton etc, but the 658 usually only takes about half an hour, roughly the same as from Bolton. There again, it's just as easy to get a train from Manchester to Atherton and then jump on the 582 outside Atherton station.
