Hi John,
The reason why there is no station in Platt Bridge is probably because there is no railway!!!
The Tyldesley to Wigan main line through Platt bridge was closed in 1969. The rails remained in place from Springs Branch to Bickershaw Colliery until the colliery closed about 1994. Look at a map of the area or find a copy of "A Lancashire Triangle" by D.J.Sweeney and you will see that any reopening is totally impractical.
