Burnley Central railway station
The service from Colne through the station to Manchester Victoria, via Accrington and Bury, was well used from the outset by the owners of the local cotton mills, who travelled from their homes in the area to make their purchases of raw cotton at the Royal Exchange several times each week.[2] It was also possible to travel from the station by direct train to Blackpool, Liverpool and Skipton and even through to London Euston, via Blackburn, Manchester Victoria and Stockport.Immediately to the west, the line passes above the centre of the town on Bank Top viaduct as it heads towards Gannow Junction.It is fully accessible to disabled travellers, with a ramp from the entrance to the waiting room/ticket office and platform.[6] On weekdays and Saturdays, Northern Trains operates an hourly service in each direction between Colne (eastbound) and Preston (westbound).
