Further Notes
LTR - Sat 30/08/1986 - 1145 SO Blackpool (North) - Sheffield - PSUL 1986-7 p15 & 1986-7 amendments p4.
This line was one of the "Five Curves" that were the subject of much controversy at the time over claims of illegal closure. Ministerial consent was finally announced and reported in RM Feb 1987 p123 & BLN 553 p3/87-7 but no specific OCD was given. The latter article suggests, by the date of its sources, the announcement was made in early December 1986.
In the absence of an OCD or any record to date of this line carrying a RTS, LTR given as closure date.
RO 31/05/1999 - PSUL 1999 Summer p11.
