I'm glad the land issue of this project has been sorted but has there been any funding allocated to construct the station?
It'd be pretty useful (service pattern permitting) for me since I live around a mile from the proposed station site, would save the trip into Preston.
The first runs of fizzy knitting are up near Colton Junction.
