VIEWPOINT


TT will be a sad occasion for the people of Ribblesdale |


next month when the Blackburn - Hellifield line 1 closes to passenger traffic. ! Only an eleventh h o u r change of mind by the Min- j ister of Transport can save the line.


An attempt to bring this about : is being made by a pressure • group. The pros and cons of the case have been dis­ cussed in the Press and at ?. j public inquiry so that every-


one is familiar with the facts for and against the closure.


People travelling between Clitheroe and Blackburn are adequately catered for by the bus service but, as the pressure group stress, there is need for an alternative means of transport between Hellifleld and Gisburn. Un­ fortunately, however, it does not seem that minori­ ties count for much these days.


Closure of the line will come hard for those living in the Hellifield area and having to travel to work at Blackburn, particularly if it means giving up that employment or removing to Blackburn in order to retain it.


The pressure group are mak­ ing excellent efforts to keep the line open and, in this, deserve the support of all who wish to see the Ribble Valley retain the amenity of a rail service.
