Railway Road Post Office is the closest Post Office currently open in Leigh town centre (The branch inside Spinning Gate Shopping Centre remains closed during the UK government lockdown as it is inside a Ryman store), it is a short walk away from the town's main shopping area and bus station. It feels like the priority is making it a newsagent first with some overpriced items, rather than a Post Office, the store feels cramped and not very pleasant. The store doesn't offer as many facilities as a larger Post Office, but you can still withdraw and deposit cash into your bank account, and post parcels. I'm glad this store is open on Sunday's as that's the most useful place about this Post Office, I do think they shut a little early at 5 pm during the week, closing half an hour earlier on Saturday's and another half an hour early on Sunday's again. There isn't a Post Box outside which is a little annoying. I wish the Post Office in the town centre would open again, as this location is less than ideal, I also don't think the service is as throughout or professional as you'd get from a Crown Post Office or even one located inside another store. read more

The sub post office on Railway road in Leigh is situated half way down Railway road in Leigh on a corner position. There are car parks around the town which are pay and display and a good bus service, also you can park for up to 30/40 mins on Railway Road in the designated spaces. The shop front is attractive and clean and clearly displays the post office logo. The window displays are relevant and attractive. Inside the shop is clean, spacious and well maintained. There is a photocopier for use at a small cost and cards, sweets, small gifts and packaging products etc are available at a reasonable cost. The counter is at the rear of the shop and offers a good range of services, it is always well staffed and is a very popular post office that is very much appreciated in the area. The staff are very helpful, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The post office is serving the local community well and we are very fortunate to have it as the main post office in Leigh can be a trek and quite busy. One of my favourite post offices I can Highly Recommend Railway Road Post Office in Leigh. read more
