Bamber Bridge was also opened by the Blackburn and Preston Railway in 1846.
Eccles is also a station where you can interchange with the Metrolink.
Another station where you can easily change between Manchester Metrolink trams and National Rail is Altrincham.In May 2015, direct services from Accrington to Manchester Victoria resumed (after a gap of almost fifty years) with the reopening of the Todmorden Curve. These start at Blackburn and continue onwards through Burnley Manchester Road, using the Caldervale Line south of Todmorden to reach Rochdale and Manchester.
