Visited the post office today to pay 8 bags of 5p coins into my account, all bagged correctly. I…read morequeued for around 10 minutes to be served to be told by the lady working there that I couldn't pay it in as she had "already done her coins". This was at 5pm. Not a very good service for those who work and wish to use the post office after work. Fair enough if that is their policy, but maybe have a notice up letting people know so they don't queue unnecessarily.

One of two Post Offices in Bolton town centre, this location on Oxford Street is the better…read morelocation, which is larger than the other nearby branch behind Morrisons and Bolton Interchange. There are multiple Post Office counters and a small newsagents section selling slightly overpriced drinks. The services offered by this branch are typical to what you'd expect to find in a Post Office, the opening hours are OK, it would be nice to see Sunday openings with the opening hours being the pretty generic 9 am to 5:30 pm, closing half an hour earlier on Saturday's. 3* - Pretty much an average Post Office, there were no self-serve postage machines which I do prefer as it often saves time waiting, there could easily be room to add them in the future and I hope they do.

Railway Road Post Office is the closest Post Office currently open in Leigh town centre (The branch…read moreinside 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.

The sub post office on Railway road in Leigh is situated half way down Railway road in Leigh on a…read morecorner 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.

A pretty average Post Office serving a small town, located just outside The Ellesmere Centre in…read moreWalkden. The service was quick even though they didn't have many staff members working, the staff didn't seem too friendly/welcoming, but they sorted out what I needed, which is all I can ask of them really, the open hours are average during the week but at the weekend, they close at 1 pm on Saturday and don't open till Monday which is a shame. The store could have been slightly cleaner and free of clutter, I do think it would have made more sense to keep their nearby location within The Ellesmere Centre, which was a better location than this one, but again that can be said about most Post Offices which switched from crown operated to private. 3*
