WELCOME To Skipton East Lancs Railway Action Partnership
We are a volunteer campaign group whose
aim is to campaign for the re-instatement of the Colne-Skipton
line as a trans-pennine route, a part of the national network,
linking the Aire Valley and Yorkshire to East Lancashire, Manchester,
Preston and beyond.
Let us know what you think of the site.

Do you live or work in Lancashire or North Yorkshire? Do you holiday in either?
If so please read the articles attached below from Lancashire’s Vision Newspaper and/or the North Yorkshire Times as appropriate and, as requested in the articles, send in your views about the reopening by email or letter to the address in the relevant article.
Your response could be in terms of how the reopening would be useful to you/your family, how it would be useful to your local community or in broader terms how it would be useful to the Counties and society in general.

Three members of the SELRAP committee travelled to London on March 10 to present the case for re-opening the Skipton-Colne railway line to Members of both Houses of Parliament. 
The group, headed by chairman Derek Jennings and including Andy Shackleton and Frank Filardo, addressed the All Party Parliamentary Rail Group in Committee Room 7 of the Palace of Westminster, quite an imposing venue and audience for a volunteer campaign group!!
Some of the audience are seen in our picture, from left to right: Gordon Prentice (MP for Pendle), Lord Tony Berkeley, Lord Bruce Grocott, Norman Baker MP, Lord Richard Faulkner and Kelvin Hopkins MP. SELRAP chairman Derek Jennings is seen on the far right of picture . The pictures were taken by Andy Shackleton – and note that the group are holding copies of SELRAP’s eye-catching ‘CravenRail’ newsletter!! Among others attending was Skipton and Ripon MP David Curry.
Derek Jennings comments: “SELRAP’s campaign is really hitting the high notes, and we are increasingly recognised in high places as a more than just a volunteer group. The impact created by the campaign goes far beyond what one normally associates with such groups.
Andy did his usual expert presentation on our campaign and we were then able to answer Members’ questions and discuss our aims further.
SELRAP is very grateful to Gordon Prentice for having set up this meeting, and we are sure it will lead to a far better understanding of the case for re-opening the Skipton-Colne railway within Westminster, where our impact will grow over the coming months.”

 | Another important milestone in SELRAP's campaign to see the Skipton-Colne railway line re-opened was reached on Friday January 18 when a delegation from the group met with Brian Simpson, Member of the European Parliament and Director, North West Rail Campaign, in his St Helens office.
"We are delighted with the rapport we established with Mr Simpson", says SELRAP chairman Derek Jennings, "he very much agreed with the strategy we have adopted and gave us several useful pointers for the future, including advice that we should concentrate on seeking a high-quality trans-pennine railway and that we should engage with the European Parliament. SELRAP looks forward to developing relations with both Mr Simpson and the North West Rail Campaign. " |

A new independent study into the re-opening of the Skipton-Colne railway line was launched by SELRAP at a Briefing at Herriots Hotel in Skipton last Friday (November 30) where the audience heard totally positive support voiced by all the speakers, including two Members of Parliament. SELRAP, the Skipton-East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership campaigns for the re-opening of this line as part of the national network.

A new study, launched by SELRAP in Skipton last Friday (November 30) into the re-opening of the Skipton-Colne railway line is very positive, and takes SELRAP’s campaign to a new level, the group says.
Produced by the Leeds office of the national firm JMP Consulting in full compliance with Department for Transport (DfT) guidelines, the report looks at the costs and benefits associated with the re-opening. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SELRAP, the Skipton-East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership, warmly welcomes the inclusion of the possible re-opening of the Skipton to Colne railway line in Network Rail’s new Strategic Business Plan.

|
|
|
|
Chorley has become the latest Lancashire local authority to adds its name to the growing support in the county for the re-opening of the Colne-Skipton line, which is the target of a campaign by SELRAP, the Skipton-East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership.

Well over 200 people packed on to the 0958 for Skipton at Colne Railway Station on Sunday, 28 October ready for a 150-mile highly-scenic round trip on only the second train to link the towns in 37 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Great Day out as well as getting the message across! That was the verdict on SELRAP’s charter train from Colne to Skipton on Sunday October 28 to highlight its campaign that the 11.5 mile “Missing Link” between the two towns should be restored as part of the national rail network. Hundreds of people enjoyed the trip, among them the Mayors of Pendle and Skipton, and to complete it, the sun came out!
Thanks to local Travel Agents Althams for handling the ticket sales as well as to the organisers and Northern Rail
