FirstGroup wants to bring direct services to more areas of the North West
Rochdale and Eccles could soon get their own direct rail service to London. FirstGroup has announced plans to run six return trains a day between Greater Manchester and the capital.
FirstGroup confirmed it had submitted the first phase of an application for the new open access rail service to the Office of Rail and Road this morning . If it secures permission for the new service, it will be the first direct service from Rochdale to London since 2000. FirstGroup hopes to have the service, which would be part of its Lumo brand, up and running by 2027. It says the new route would provide 1.6 million people in the North West with a 'convenient and competitively priced direct rail service to London from stations that are more local to them'.
"In addition, the new service will help to drive modal shift from road to rail between the North West and London. We will be working closely with stakeholders as we build our application and our case for this new service."
