Sprinter entering Blackburn station

One of the earliest 'second generation' diesel units of the 1980s, 150005, enters Blackburn from the east, on the 15.25 Clitheroe to Rochdale service. There are now two ways to get directly from here to Rochdale, either via Manchester Victoria (this service), or via Todmorden (a shorter route, departing in the opposite direction).

Ainsworth Street, Blackburn â 1973

Ainsworth Street served effectively as a bus station for the Corporation's services, although there was a separate bus station Link used by other operators opposite the railway station. The Co-op buildings on the right have been replaced with more modern retail buildings, the left hand carriageway has been built over by the modern bus station, and the right hand carriageway is pedestrianised. The footbridge, linking to a multi-storey car park, from which this view was taken, has also disappeared.
