Clitheroe rail passengers face disruption
Published Date:
05 September 2008
RAIL service users between Clitheroe and Blackburn will be using buses instead for most of November.
The line will be closed for three weeks from November 7th to allow Network Rail to carry out essential engineering works. Instead of trains, a replacement bus service will operate along the route, stopping at each station.
The closure begins at 11-45 p.m. on November 7th and normal service will resume from 5-30 a.m. on Friday, November 28th. Timetables for the replacement bus service will be available at dedicated bus stops at each of the stations along the route, which are also publicising the closure to passengers.
The engineering works will see the final batch of speed restrictions on the Ribble Valley line being removed and the installation of two Intermediate Block signals at Langho and Newsholme, to facilitate the increase of freight over the line following the December timetable recasting.
