On Thursday 20 March, Sara Britcliffe, the Member of Parliament for Hyndburn and Haslingden, spoke in Department for Transport questions and raised the need for improvements at Church & Oswaldtwistle Railway Station, Rishton Railway Station and the re-opening of the Rawtenstall to Manchester railway line.
Railways Minister Huw Merriman confirmed that both stations mentioned by the Hyndburn MP were currently under assessment by the Department for Transport, with an announcement to be made in due course.
Accrington Railway Station has already been one of the beneficiaries of the Access for All Scheme, while Ms Britcliffe also touched on Lancashire County Council’s successful £50million bid to level up east lancashire, focusing on travel improvements, as well as Lancashire’s £34.2 million Bus Service Improvement Plan announced in 2022.
