Forget a taxi rank! We need a bus station like in the new one in Chorley! It would certianly be useful!
Ideal location... the waste land next to Tescos on St Andrews Way across from the fitness centre. Leyland should definately have a proper bus station! Hundreds of buses travel to and from Leyland every day! The bus station should be used by all the bus companies.
Also Leyland Train Station needs a complete refurbishment! It's got to be the worst railway station in Lancashire!... Even Pleasington, Cherry Tree and Mill Hill stations are better! Look at Euxton Train Station as an example.
Also I think they should re-open Midge Hall and make it into a proper station. Call it Leyland Midge Hall. It would be useful for all of those West Leyland towns like Moss Side, Bretherton, Wymott, Ulnes Walton, even Longton and New Longton... Not only that, there is a big industrial estate nearby who's work force would nodoubt use.
Also the benefits of a new train station at Hidge Hall wold re-open links with the rest of West Lancashire.
Going back to the original topic... Chapel Brow should be made busses only and that should be down the hill leading to the round about only! Chapel Brow/Golden Hill Lane has to be the worst junction/road surface in South Ribble! The poposed changes are long over due!!
