I must admit I live in Rishton, and Accrington is pain to get to if you don't drive. The buses are hit and miss. I can get the 152 Burnley Preston service to the Blackburn Tesco or Blackburn Morrisons. It takes 15-20 on the bus but Accrington in can take upto 45 mins because the bus goes via Great Harwood and Clayton Le Moors. There is a small bus from Rishton to Accrington but it goes through all the estates into Accrington and the last bus leaves Accrington at 1605.

The 241 hospital bus that goes from Clitheroe to Royal Blackburn Hospital via Accrington is very infrequent aswell.
