What used to be a busy double-track railway with through service to Skipton and connections to Scotland is now just a single line truncated at Colne, which supports an hourly service by 'Pacer' diesel train, all stations to Blackpool South. It is not surprising that most travellers prefer the comfort of their own private motorcar.
