A CAMPAIGN to add a new stop to the Todmorden Curve line from East Lancashire to Manchester is gathering steam. Hyndburn Labour councillors Kate Walsh and Noordad Aziz have taken the fight for the trains on the line to pick up and drop passengers at Rishton to their party s front bench. And local Tory MP Sara Britcliffe has raised the issue with rail minister Chris Heaton-Harris. The Todmorden Curve giving Burnley a direct link with Manchester reopened in 2015 with many services going to Accrington and Blackburn but not stopping at Rishton. Labour s shadow transport secretary Jim McMahon MP and shadow rail minister Tan Dhesi MP have thrown their support behind the campaign after discussing it with the two councillors and former MP, Graham Jones.
