"Skipton - Colne The campaign group SELRAP proposes the reopening of the Skipton - Colne line to connect the relatively depressed areas of Burnley and Colne via Skipton to Leeds and the Aire Valley and drive economic regeneration. Six local authorities, including Lancashire County Council, have formed an Outputs Definition Group to promote the proposal. On 3 February 2018 the Transport Secretary announced a feasibility study into the value of reopening the line and in October 2019 the scheme was included, at stage 1 Determine (of 5), in the DfT's Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline."
