In November 2020, this Government awarded up to £50,000 of Restoring Your Railway Ideas funding to develop a Strategic Outline Business Case to reinstate passenger services on the Bolton-Radcliffe/Bolton-Bury line. As with all Ideas Fund projects the Department has been working with the promoters and we expect the SOBC to be submitted in January 2022.
