Sunday Service Success !!

On December the 18th GMITA voted to approve funding for a 1-year trial of Sunday trains from Walkden, starting May 2010.

FOWS are delighted with this break-through and confident the trial will be a great success. Our thanks go out to all at Northern Rail, GMITA and the local politicians who have worked hard over several years to make this happen. Our particular thanks to Worsley MP Barbara Keeley, and Salford councillors Ian Macdonald and Iain Lindley, who have all offered unwavering support and help.

As we learn more details about the trial they will be posted on the FOWS blog.
