THE East Lancashire Partnership is about to give Burnley's Central Railway Station a fresh new look.

Along with partners Lancashire County Council, Burnley Borough Council, First North Western and Railtrack, the Partnership has commissioned Strzala Associates Architects to undertake a design study that will see either the refurbishment or rebuilding of Burnley Central station.

The new look for Burnley Central is one of the first steps in delivering East Lancashire's new Rapid Transit system and will act as a demonstration project to show what can be done to improve station facilities across the whole of the East Lancashire rail network.
