'Positive' meetings over re-opening of 12-mile Colne to Skipton rail link

Yorkshire Post, 6th September

Campaigners wanting the new Labour government to help reopen a 12-mile rail link between Colne and Skipton, to re-establish a northern trans-Pennine route across Lancashire and Yorkshire away from Manchester and boost regeneration in poorer areas, will meet in Colne next week.

The Skipton-East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership (SELRAP) says it has held positive meetings over the summer with various MPs and councils since July’s general election.

It wants to reconnect Colne with Skipton by rail and ultimately get fast direct trains running between Lancashire, Bradford and Leeds. Supporters will meet at Colne Town Hall on Monday, September 9, to hear updates.
