Try PennineReach

Thank you, I have that information but would like to see a map of the route that the Pennine Reach is going to take, and wondered where one was available.:)

Re: Pennine Reach
 

Try the Lancashire County Council website. The route should be on there. You could also try Hyndburn Council's website.

More likely to be on the County website, as the pennine reach is a County project.

'A CONTROVERSIAL £50million bus lane scheme to link Blackburn, Darwen and Hyndburn could be axed by the new government.'

Twas a dumb idea to begin with IMHO. n if thats cut will be pretty painless.

I know not everyone was a supporter of the Pennine Reach project, but part of it was the bus station. If the bus route is scrapped, I really do hope that doesn't mean that we won't be getting a new bus station.

Re: Pennine Reach
 

Yes I remember.

Accept this dictat, and you'll have the sweetner of a bung, to build a new bus station.

Pennine Reach was a daft idea, and would have harmed businesses along the route, and moving the bus station nearer to the railway station, and further away from the town centre, would have been another nail in the coffin of Accrington's independent retailers.

Best thing going, if it's scrapped.

Re: Pennine Reach
 

Town planning in Accrington doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.

You only have to look at the appalling state of our once thriving market, after it had been moved around, to see that.

Some people should really only be allowed Lego to play with.

to be perfectly honest bernard i know no-one that has a business on that route, that "WAS" in favour of it,:confused:

Re: Pennine Reach
 

I'm not particularly arguing the case for the bus route, I know there are problems with it,and a lot of people are opposed to it. But we do need in my view a new bus station.

There's an argument to be had, as to where a new bus station should be sighted.But I have long held the belief that a new bus station is essential.

Re: Pennine Reach
 

Don't dispute the existing bus station is crap, think a bus station needs to be pretty central in accy, where there is room fer it though is summat else, n fer my money, needs to be a seperate issue from this "pennine reach"?
