todmorden/burnley curve

[faltskog36abba]

nick clegg has announced a 9million funding to re-open the todmorden curve,this short piece of railway is still in situ but will need to be replaced,this will give manchester victoria blackburn 2 trains per hour,one by the present[bolton route]the other via todmordon burnley,great news for commuters in lancashire,some people are saying these trains could be running by late 2013,just a small thought,where are they going to get the trains from?

Good point - I suppose they could run them in a circular route in each direction - Blackburn . Burnley Todmorden Manchester Bolton Blackburn
