Eric Ollerenshaw, the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Lancaster and Fleetwood, has welcomed a report released today on new railways.

The report from the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) has called for an expansion of the existing rail network, with a proposal for over 40 new stations and 14 extra lines.  This includes a new station at Fleetwood along with one at Cleveleys.

Eric said: “This provides much needed backing for re-opening the railway line from Fleetwood to Poulton.  Out of the 20 national schemes recommended, the Fleetwood proposal was the 4th cheapest while also being the 4th highest in terms of cost benefit.

“I just hope the Government will listen to this strong evidence in support of what everybody in Fleetwood already knows: the loss of the railway led to the decline of the town and a restored railway is vital to its regeneration”.

The report is available from the ATOC website.
