RAIL commuters face disruption to East Lancashire train services this weekend.

All services on the Preston to Colne line, which runs through Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, will be cancelled on Sunday, Northern has said.

A replacement bus service will be provided on the line, which has an hourly service. The normal journey time from Preston to Colne is 70 minutes by train but this is likely to be extended.

The line disruption is one of several planned cancellations to train services across Northern's network in the North West.

A spokesman for Northern said: "This Sunday, there are a number of planned cancellations to train services that customers will face on parts of our network in the North West.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience this will cause our customers. Please check immediately before you travel."
