<p>As part of its GM 2040 Transport Strategy Delivery Plan, Transport for Greater
Manchester (TfGM) is undertaking further study of the feasibility of opening a number
of new stations in the Greater Manchester area. Work to date by TfGM has shortlisted
those stations worth proceeding with, and Golborne has been identified as being one
of three potential new station sites that could benefit the Hon. Member’s constituents.</p><p>
</p><p>The potential site being considered in Golborne is close to the site of the
former Golborne South station on the West Coast Main Line, north of Golborne Junction.
TfGM will be engaging with relevant stakeholders as this work progresses, including
the Rail North Partnership (Department for Transport and Transport for the North)
which manages rail franchises that could potentially call at a new station in this
area.</p><p> </p>
