Tram-train plans consultation
ROCHDALE Borough Council has asked local people for their views on plans which could see tram-trains linking Oldham, Manchester, Castleton and Heywood.
The services, which would be part of Metrolink, would use existing heavy rail lines and form part of wider proposals to regenerate the areas around the borough’s five railway stations.
An extension to the East Lancashire Railway and improvements to Castleton railway station, including a revamped entrance and additional parking facilities, are also planned.
