Better yet why don't we go the whole hog? Let's have an hourly Colne - Burnley - Blackburn - Bolton - Man Vic - Todmorden - Burnley - Blackburn - Preston - Blackpool South service, alternating with an hourly Colne - Blackburn - Preston - Carnforth - Hellifield service. On reaching Hellifield the service could split, with one portion running to Clitheroe, Blackburn, Bolton and on to Manchester Airport. The other portion could go Skipton - Leeds - Bradford Interchange - Halifax - Hebden Bridge - Burnley - Blackburn - Preston - Blackpool North.
Of course some cynical people might say all this is a tad OTT for a line that carries a massive 700 passengers per day on average.
Anyway - back on topic. Is there any update on how the actual work in the real world is progressing? It was reported as being 48hrs ahead of schedule but we've had some pretty lousy weather recently.
Incidentally it looks as though there are track renewal works imminent on the Colne branch, with stacks of steel sleepers and bags of ballast appearing trackside.
