Second meeting of campaign group which wants a new station in Golcar

A CAMPAIGN for a new railway station in the Colne Valley has moved to a second village.

Golcar Longwood and Milnsbridge Transport Campaign (GLAM TRaC) was set up in June to push for a new station on the Huddersfield to Manchester Victoria Line.

Sixteen people attended a meeting about the campaign at Temujin restaurant in Milnsbridge on Thursday night.

Clr Paul Salveson, who helped set up GLAM TRaC, said: “The group has established itself as a good, sound organisation. Discussion centred on opportunities for the proposed new station for Golcar/Milnsbridge opened up by electrification and re-signalling of the line.

GLAM TRaC, which wants to set up a new station at the Old Railway Goods Yard off Scar Lane in Milnsbridge, held its first meeting at Golcar British Legion in June. The group will finalise its constitution at its next full meeting on September 25, when it is hoped Metro chairman Clr James Lewis will attend.
