Keir Starmer hears 'anger' over East Lancs trains and NHS

Here is an Article from the Lancashire Telegraph from Bill Jacobs of 6th February:

Here is what Starmer promised and said about poor rail transport provision and services in East Lancashire:

He promised to work to improve train services on the East Lancashire Line from Preston and the route from Manchester to Clitheroe via Blackburn and Darwen.

He also said: "I hear very clearly their frustrations, even anger; whether it's health or travel, transport or rail. We've inherited a complete mess when it comes to the health service. I think everybody recognises that, and equally when it comes to transport and rail."

"We're working on the train and transport infrastructure - particularly with those in the region because it's really important that those with skin in the game - those that are affected by these services - have a say over what services they get."


I wonder if "work to improve train services on the East Lancashire Line" and "working on the train and transport infrastructure - particularly with those in the region" includes reopening the Colne to Skipton Railway to connect Communities across the North?
