Poets given a Platform

Four Bolton-based poets will have their work displayed on the pillars of Bolton Railway Station in full view of the many thousands of daily passengers.

Emma Byron, Sally James, Ibby Ismail and John Keane will also have their poems included in a special anthology together with many others who entered the Bolton Station Community Partnership competition. The competition was judged by members of the Partnership, the University of Bolton and Live from Worktown.

Bolton Community Rail Update

A very happy New Year! We’re going into 2020 with confidence: funding is assured for the community rail partnership and work is going ahead with the renovation of the main building on Bolton’s platforms 4 and 5.  This is an update on what’s happening with an invitation to get involved in our activities.

Clock Tower Trails

We are forming a group to help develop four self-guided walks from Bolton Station’s iconic clock tower. The walks will extend to Preston, Wigan, Blackburn and Manchester, with the opportunity to hop on and off a train at all the stations along the routes.

Lancashire Day

We are planning a ‘Lancashire Day Special’ on Lancashire Day – Wednesday November 27th. We will be inviting guests to join us for a journey from Manchester to Preston, then back to Bolton. If your organisation would like to get an invitation, please contact us.
