Well, if it has been cancelled then someone needs to let the Dingles know. It looks like they will now be spending a few bob on doing up Manchester Rd station. Here's a report from last weeks regional developers rag:
> News > Station work moves ahead for Todmorden Curve - Place North West
If the curve rebuild is not to go ahead, it will probably be because the rest of the Manchester-Leeds line is now to be electrified and as such there won't be any room for any mucky old East Lancs DMU's to share the track.
