Calder Valley line
[clarification needed] Original places served, and notes on the route: On 24 October 1901, as the 6.10 pm down goods train from Low Moor to Leeds to was passing through Bowling Tunnel, the rear section broke loose.Many stations on this route have been closed (or are not served by the Calder Valley line trains): original stations served: On 28 February 1902 a Wakefield to Rose Grove goods train broke into two due to a broken coupling, resulting in the rear half eventually crashing at high speed into the front half in Millwood Tunnel.[4] Summit Tunnel was the scene of a major fire in 1984, caused when a freight train hauling petrol tankers derailed.The section from Todmorden to Burnley (often called the Copy Pit line) was opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway (later L&YR) on 12 November 1849.Reinstating the curve was a priority for Lancashire County Council and was ranked as the most important project in its 2010 Rail Improvement Schemes draft report.[6] The government stated in March 2010 that reinstating the link would cost around £7 million and any new rail services would require initial subsidy.[7] Burnley MP Kitty Ussher wrote to the North West Development Agency to seek assurance that it could find the money.Holme Tunnel, which lies between Hebden Bridge and Burnley Manchester Road, was closed for 20 weeks from November 2013 until March 2014.Track and signalling upgrades between Hebden Bridge and Leeds (following on from work already carried out between Littleborough and Manchester) will allow for quicker journey times by the autumn of 2018.[23] In March 2015 The Northern Sparks report was produced by a committee of Members of Parliament from all parties focusing on economic benefits of electrification in the North.
