Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of rail services in the past six months that have not travelled beyond Burnley Central to Brierfield, Nelson and Colne stations but have instead gone back to Preston; and of the effect these service cancellations have had on (1) passengers from these three stations, (2) the number of passengers continuing to use that service, and (3) the reputation of the railway.

The Department does not hold information at the level of detail requested on rail services that, in the past six months, have not travelled beyond Burnley Central to Brierfield, Nelson and Colne stations.
