Reopen Poulton-Fleetwood/Open A New Fleetwood-Lancaster Railway Line/A New Garstang Train Station

Dear Paul Maynard,

Could you please reopen the old Poulton-Fleetwood rail line. Then open a new rail line running from Burn Naze to Scotforth (runs from Burn Naze with a triangle spur line to and from Fleetwood just like the old Poulton Curve Line which would itself be needed to be reopend if so theres a direct Blackpool to Lancaster etc services are needed, then a new bridge crossing over the River Wyre, then the line passing aprox in between Stalmine and Preesall, then onto passing through in between Pilling and Eagland Hill, then passing in between Cockerham and Forton, then finally joining onto the West Coast Main Line at Scotforth) thus this would allow a direct Blackpool to Lake District and Scotland train service without having to change at Preston.

Also open a new train station for Garstang, (thus it would be called Garstang Parkway), as it would be situated on the West Coast Main Line halfway between Preston and Lancaster. The station would not be located directly in Garstang, as it would be between the M6 Motorway and a Farmers Field. There would also be new railway stations too for Thornton-Cleveleys, Burn Naze, Fleetwood, Wrea Green and Earby.

Why is this important?

If the population increases and grows, it would be ideal to make the possible train service to those who want it back, that's if the people petition to have the old lines reopened, SELRAP have also done their part too for the Colne-Skipton rail line.
