THE first of a series of blues specials rolled into Colne station, bringing visitors to the Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival to town.
The specially-decorated train, complete with festival logo will promote the Bank Holiday event for five years along the Blackpool South to Colne line. East Lancashire Community Rail Partnership has worked with festival organisers Pendle Leisure to promote rail as the best means of travelling to Colne.
Festival organiser Alison Goode said: "We're so proud to know that commuters all over the north of England will be getting on the Blues Train for the next five years."
