Andrew Stephenson MP had a positive meeting with Northern (Arriva Rail North) in Nelson about improving local rail services and railway stations.
Andrew Stephenson MP said, "I am pleased that from December there will be improvements to the Sunday service covering Colne – Preston, with trains every hour. Station improvements are also planned and I discussed how Brierfield Station could be better linked in with the £32 million transformation of Brierfield Mills. We also discussed the timetable for the roll out of the new trains which will replace the hated pacer trains, which are all being taken out of service."
