Burnley to Manchester rail link
Sign Now
PLANS to create a direct rail link between Burnley and Manchester have moved a step closer.
If successful, the link would have a major impact on job opportunities and the local housing market.
The bid to re-open the Todmorden Curve, which would provide passengers with a faster 45-minute direct service to the city, is featured in the Lancashire and Cumbria Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS), a 10-year strategy for improving rail travel across the two counties.

This is the only sensible and realistic way to give this part of East Lancs an adequate rail service to the regional centre.

Transport has been given least priority in Burnley. Major cities such as London Manchester and Sheffield have progressed due to their transport facilities

I used to work in Manchester town centre and had to travel there by bus, which was a complete nightmare on most days. A Manchester rail link would be much better ( as long as there was enough room on the train).
