Campaign to seek support


BRITISH RAIL would be interested in reopening Clitheroe Station to regu­ lar passenger train traffic — but only if the service was guaranteed local au th o r ity and public support. At a local meeting at


Clitheroe to assess support for a local service, Mr David Harrison, passenger manager for British Rail’s Preston division, welcomed the reopening of platforms at Clitheroe Station for once-monthly Dalesrail trains. But, he stressed, a regu­


lar service was something entirely different. Cash and support must be seen to exist, before British Rail could give any undertaking to start work on the route, he said. The most likely source of
