Rawtenstall and Manchester rail link £80m business case goes to DfT

The business case for a rail link linking Rawtenstall and Manchester has been submitted to the DfT. Consultants SYSTRA have been appointed by Rossendale Council and Lancashire County Council to produce the report and explore a number of potential solutions.

The project would provide a link from Manchester Victoria via Bury at an estimated cost of £80m using existing track infrastructure.
