As the Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed last month, there is a lot riding on the timetable changes for the firms that operate the services, after politicians from across the North backed a proposal by Lancashire County Council’s then cabinet member for highways and transport for local authorities to withdraw their support for the current contractors if next week’s new schedule does not deliver promised improvements in reliability.
“The new timetables starting on Sunday will bring back a number of Lancashire’s rail services which were lost in 2020. “On the whole, the new timetable should be positive for passengers in Lancashire. However we will ensure our voice is heard as future investments in Central Manchester’s rail infrastructure offer the opportunity for future service improvements,”County Cllr Swarbrick said
