There hasn't been a direct link between the town and the nation's capital since 2000
The people of Rochdale could soon be served by a direct rail link with London, if their MP gets his way.
In a letter to the Office of Rail and Road, he gave his support to a bid submitted by operator Lumo, which hopes to establish a link by 2027.The MP’s office claimed it would give passengers an alternative to Avanti's service which runs between Manchester and London, without the inconvenience of crossing the city between Victoria and Piccadilly stations.
“The benefits to Rochdale of the new six service-a-day link would be significant, both in terms of business and leisure travel. The direct link would provide not just new jobs locally in the rail industry but also boost our wider plans for economic, social and cultural regeneration.” The Rochdale MP added: “This new rail link would help our local businesses, many of them family-run, while also attracting outside investors to our ‘Atom Valley’ plans for advanced manufacturing, with Kingsway Business Park hosting cutting edge research facilities.
