Why no Rail Station in Plattbridge (Wigan)

I ltake the Line from Wigan Wall Gate out to Manchester and I see that by using the Raod Transport on a Sunday that Just about every area in Wigan has a Railway Station but yet Platt Bridge no Longer Has its Station for which I do not ubderstnd why it was closed aprt from the beeching act as it is a good walk to Hindley and or Ince as if you walk down from where I live towards Ince Station your as well walking into Wigan TOwn Centre.

It really is DIabolical I know there is atleast one brirge missing but is there anything else to stop them re laying this line and re instating a few of the defunct stations or they could BUild a Station just down the road at Spring Veiw where the west coaqst mainline passes throgh and past a Railway Goods Yard pleanty of land there also a station re instated at Golboune would be nice too.
