92 Clubs – Lancashire Humour
I saw this sign at Burnley Manchester Road station.
Does the World End At Leeds?
Notice that it just says Train. Does this mean that they are just one a day?
In fact, if I was the Fat Controller of Britain’s railways the line between Blackpool North, Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds and York is one that I’d upgrade seriously. It links the East Coast main line, at Leeds and York, with the West Coast main line at Preston. With three coach trains, an increased frequency and better bus/train interfaces like they have at Blackburn and it could have a postive benefit to the area. I didn’t see much of the countryside, in my four journeys on the line this week, as it was either raining or dark and sometines both.

It is a pity you missed the countryside, it is beautiful

I didn’t comment and it was raining, dark and the train windows were dirty. That line from Blackpool to York needs to be seriously upgraded to give the area a boost. A lot of what needs to be done is just attention to detail and interfacing trains to the local bus services and walking routes.
