It is ‘on track’ for the transformation of Burnley Manchester Road station as plans are submitted.

An application for planning permission has been submitted for the redevelopment of Manchester Road Railway Station in Burnley.

Burnley Council in partnership with Lancashire County Council, the East Lancashire Community Rail Partnership, Northern Rail and Network Rail is redeveloping the station in advance of the implementation of the Todmorden Curve railway improvements, which will see travel times to Manchester cut from 1 hour and 45 minutes to 53 minutes. These improvements are likely to see a strong increase in passenger numbers at the station, which is already Burnley’s busiest station.
