No new railways in NW England in 2010 but there is a striking new station building at Accrington. It has been built across the old Bury line trackbed and replaces a rather nondescript 70s building that was inconveniently sited on the other side of the Blackburn line.

The wheel has come almost full circle at Accrington as the new ticket office is almost on the site of the original main station building, demolished forty years previously [See image 54930]. The new building actually stands where the line to Stubbins and Bury ran and is impressive from all angles.
