The first train station to be built in 25 years in Greater Manchester is just one Whitehall signature away.
Golborne Train Station is no “pie in the sky” idea according to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who is waiting on a sign-off from Government before the vision of regenerating his home town as a commuter hub can become a reality.
Both Burnham and Leigh’s MP James Grundy, despite being on opposite sides of the political track, have the same direction in mind for this station - which is to reconnect it to Manchester, improving connectivity just for the town itself, but the wider Leigh area.
