A FEW comments on the sorry saga of Blackburn station as mentioned in your headlines on March 30.

Since the station was rebuilt the subway has leaked and will continue to do so until a waterproof membrane is put under the tracks which run over it.

By not using platforms 1 and 2 for Preston and Manchester services, people who are in a hurry do not have time to buy tickets and ticket revenue must have fallen.

I wonder sometimes if First North Western would prefer not to run trains but just accept the grant for running them.
