Better still, we think that you would be proud to be involved with our work of helping to bring an always improving train service to the Ribble Valley and through Darwen, all the way to Manchester.
Current “hot topics” are:
Doubling of the line between Bromley Cross and Blackburn to help punctuality, and allow a genuine half-hour service from Blackburn to Manchester
Increasing the length of platforms along the Ribble Valley to make them suitable for three or four car trains
Extending the passenger service, on existing tracks, to Hellifield and beyond, giving services to Lancaster, Skipton, Leeds and Carlisle. This would bring York, Scarborough and Scotland into easy reach. It would also bring Manchester Airport within an easy train ride from all stations to Carlisle
Sounds good? Sounds exciting? Help it happen and come to our open committee meetings and get the inside information from Northern Rail and Network Rail. Even join the committee . . . .
Annual subscription is from £6.00 only . . . .

BARBARA CASTLE
- Naming Ceremony
Sunday 21st September 2008
at Blackburn Station
|
|
After the naming, Janet Anderson MP, Sonya Hinton, Steve Butcher (Northern Rail) and Lord Taylor of Blackburn, together with younger relatives of Barbara Castle, stand for photographs.
|
|
The named unit has been ‘wrapped' with an attractive display, featuring Barbara Castle and members of the Passenger Transport Executive Group (PTEG), and is shown standing at Blackburn Station before its inaugural journey to Manchester Oxford Road.
|
|
The vestibule within the train features a poster, which explains the work done by Barbara Castle.
Scroll below for a more legible version of the text contained in the above poster.
|
|
Speeches were made by (left to right) Ruth Kelly (Secretary of State for Transport), Neil Scales (Chairman, PTEG) and Heidi Mottram (Managing Director, Northern Rail).

Baroness Castle of Blackburn
Born into a politically active family, and brought up in Pontefract and Bradford, Barbara Castle was the youngest woman in Parliament when she became MP for Blackburn in 1945.
In 1965 she was the first woman to become Minister of Transport and only the fourth woman to sit in Cabinet.
Clever, fiery, hard-working, decisive, and with a flair for publicity, she made the most of her time at the Ministry by pragmatically applying her strongly held views on the importance of a planned approach to transport.
Among her achievements were giving the railways a future by putting them on a more secure financial footing, and by preventing some of the worst excesses of Dr. Beeching's closure plans.
She also saved hundreds of miles of canals by giving them a new role for amenity and leisure.
Many lives were saved through new seatbelt and drink-driving legislation
She also created new and powerful urban transport authorities, giving them the job of providing inregrated public transport networks that cities need.
As a result, over the last four decades the Passenger Transport Executives and Authorities have been able to invest billions in providing better public transport for the largest conurbations in the North and Midlands.
