RAIL services in Lancashire are being hit by engineering work on behalf of Network Rail this week.

Retimed trains and replacement bus services have affected commuters mainly on routes from Blackpool through to Colne.

Until Thursday the 10pm service from Blackpool South to Colne will terminate at Blackburn.

A bus will take passengers on to Colne.

Meanwhile, the 4.43am from Preston to Colne, until Friday, will also end at Blackburn.

The 4.45am train from Blackpool North to Colne also terminates at Blackburn, with a replacement bus available for the journey.

And from Tuesday to Friday, the 6.25am Blackburn to Clitheroe service will be retimed because of the works.

It will leave Blackburn at 6.38am instead, calling at Ramsgreave at 6.44am, Langho at 6.48am, Whalley at 6.52am and arriving in Clitheroe at 7.03am.
