Q3.   Manchester, Leeds, York, Bradford: you can get everywhere direct from Burnley Manchester Road station. You can get to London and even to beautiful sunny Chorley—if you go via Preston. The station is our gateway to the world and it is the world’s gateway to us. However, in 2026, the station is still not accessible, despite promises from the last Tory Government, who said that they would do something about “the ramp”, as it has become known. The First Secretary has visited the station with me, so will she back my long-fought campaign with Burnley council for a lift bridge connecting the platforms, so everyone can use the station accessibly and come to Burnley?
