A very happy New Year! We’re going into 2020 with confidence: funding is assured for the community rail partnership and work is going ahead with the renovation of the main building on Bolton’s platforms 4 and 5.  This is an update on what’s happening with an invitation to get involved in our activities. Please note our website will soon go live: www.communityrailbolton.org.uk

We are forming a group to help develop four self-guided walks from Bolton Station’s iconic clock tower. The walks will extend to Preston, Wigan, Blackburn and Manchester, with the opportunity to hop on and off a train at all the stations along the routes.

We are planning a ‘Lancashire Day Special’ on Lancashire Day – Wednesday November 27^th. We will be inviting guests to join us for a journey from Manchester to Preston, then back to Bolton. If your organisation would like to get an invitation, please contact us.

Our amazing art gallery on Platform 5 opened in July and has already held three exhibitions. During October local artist Phil Porter will have a residence at the station and other exhibitions are booked into next year. More details soon!
