All we need now is a train
RE, First direct train from Burnley to Manchester in a generation
All very good, and extremely well done to all concerned, but can we even be sure that rolling stock fort the new service will be available in May? With the extension of Northern Rail’s franchise until 2016 and the delays in electrification work to free up additional diesel stock, I have my doubts.
