Where exactly will the trains going to Manchester start and terminate coming from Manchester?

The headline about the jobs, created by the spinmeisters at Lancashire County Council, made me smile too.
Is there any evidence that '1,000 jobs could be created in the area, within the next ten years'?
Or is it a figure plucked from mid air?
I suppose how they define the 'area' matters.
Is it a ten mile radius from every stop along the length of the line?
Laughable spin aside, it can only be good new for the area. Having a direct journey to the biggest city in the north west.
Choo-choo.
