Done it.

Signed it last neet. Won't happen though.

i asked this on another forum

where exactly would they put a station in Leigh?

I’ve signed it but I agree with you, we’ve more chance of having another terminal added to Westleigh International

By all accounts, in Warrington

Personally I would think that the idea that was put on here about making a station in Culcherth and extending the bypass to it is the best option. You would see an explosion of investment in Leigh. The Pies would be green with envy.

Would that be any nearer than Atherton or Daisy Hill?

Yes loads closer. I would say its about a mile (as the crow flies)from the town centre. I would say that the distance from the Robin Hood lights to the East lancs on the end of the bypass. Thats the old line route that connected to the main line anyway.

There are no longer any lines going through Culcheth however Glazebury is on the Liverpool-Manchester line and is just under three miles from Leigh centre.

Various petitions have failed to get Glazebury re-opened.

IMO extending the Metro from Eccles to Leigh would be best.

Unless it was near town centre its pointless having one.
