Rishton rail stop campaign gaining traction | Lancashire Telegraph

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.

Tributes paid former Burnley Mayor and rail campaigner

Oldham-born businessman David Heginbotham passed away in his sleep at his Cliviger home on Sunday aged 81. Political colleagues and opponents have paid tribute to a colourful and quirky character. Mr Heginbotham was Conservative councillor for Cliviger with Worsthorne 1991 to 1998 and 2002 to 2018 and Mayor of Burnley in 2011-2012. The former leader of the borough council Conservative group was the driving force behind the long campaign to reopen the Todmorden Curve. Mr Heginbotham was one of the first passengers to use the direct link to Manchester from Burnley when it reopened after an £8.8million reinstatement of the line which was closed in 1972 following Dr Beeching’s railway reforms in 1965.
