Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the feasibility study into the connection of Bolton to the Greater Manchester Metrolink network will be (a) completed and (b) published.
In November 2020, this Government awarded up to £50,000 of Restoring Your Railway Ideas funding to develop a Strategic Outline Business Case to reinstate passenger services on the Bolton-Radcliffe/Bolton-Bury line. The Department has been working with the promoter and we expect the SOBC to be submitted in March.
