    COUNCILLORS are leading calls to improve rail links from Darwen station.

    Blackburn with Darwen Council is asking the Department of Transport and Network Rail for £8million to upgrade the line between Blackburn and Bolton.

    The improvements would include a faster track, a mile-long section of double track, better signals, and longer trains at peak times, and have major implications for Darwen where the line is currently single track to Bromley Cross.

    Coun Kate Hollern, leader of the council, said: "Train links are vital for our borough, not just because they give us a convenient way to reach Manchester, or Bolton, but because they provide key routes to work for our citizens, and are vital to encourage visitors and shoppers."
