点评:Pub – The Swan And Railway – Wigan.
An excellent town centre pub in the heart of Wigan by the two railway stations The Swan & Railway Hotel (with 8 guest rooms), dates from 1898 and retains much of its Victorian look, small often narrow rooms and connecting corridors, but the aesthetic is spoilt by widescreen sport screens.
With 8 real ales on pump the bar is a CAMRA mecca, and the pub regularly sponsors the Wigan Beer Festivals (my visit followed a trip to the 2025 festival.
Hard to move round without other customers having to shuffle aside to let you through and the quickest way to the toilets from where I sat was to go out of the pub and re-enter on the other side of the central bar.
There are very useful train timetable electronic screens for checking when services arrive and depart though you do need to sit or stand near them to see the details properly, which is not easy when the bar is at its most crowded.
The Pieminister run pub has an old fashioned looking juke box though it still plays CD’s rather than vinyl.

翻译:酒吧 – 天鹅与铁路 – 威根。
天鹅与铁路酒店 (Swan & Railway Hotel) 是一家位于威根市中心的优质酒吧,毗邻两个火车站,建于 1898 年,保留了大部分维多利亚风格,房间狭小,走廊相连,但宽屏体育屏幕破坏了美感。
这家酒吧有 8 种现调啤酒,是 CAMRA 的圣地,而且这家酒吧定期赞助维冈啤酒节(我的到访是在 2025 年啤酒节之后进行的)。
很难走动,因为其他顾客不得不让开一条路让你通过,而从我坐的地方到厕所最快的方法是走出酒吧,然后从中央酒吧的另一边重新进入。
这里有非常有用的火车时刻表电子屏幕,可以查看列车到达和离开的时间,不过你需要坐在或站在它们附近才能看清楚详细信息,这在酒吧最拥挤的时候并不容易。
这家由 Pieminister 经营的酒吧有一个老式的点唱机,不过它仍然播放 CD 而不是黑胶唱片。
