Editing Preston, Lancashire (section)

==== New stations ====
In December 2020, the Lancashire County Council approved a proposal to construct a new station in [[Lea, Lancashire|Lea]] west of the city, to service new housing estates being built in the area. The proposed station will be located near the site of the former Lea Road station which closed in 1938. Although a timeline is yet to be established and construction yet to begin, government funding of £22.3M (along with local funding of £21.M) is conditional that it must be spent by 2023.<ref name=LEP_LS>{{cite web |url=https://www.lep.co.uk/news/transport/new-preston-suburban-railway-station-moves-step-closer-3057903 |title=New Preston suburban railway station moves a step closer |publisher=Lancashire Evening Post  |author=Paul Faulkner |date=5 December 2020 |access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref>
