TRAIN travellers can look forward to a new station opening in Chorley next month after it was announced Buckshaw Parkway would start operating on October 3.
The two-platform station is between Leyland and Chorley stops on the Preston to Manchester line.
It is expected to accommodate 450,000 passengers a year and will be operated by Northern Rail.
Buckshaw Parkway includes a 150-metre long platform, 200-car parking spaces with bus and taxi drop-off points, a fully accessible station building and steel footbridge with lifts started in the winter.
