The two Class 156 diesel units seen approaching Colne station across the viaduct will form a special train from Colne to Skipton, the first for 37 years! This event was organised by the Skipton and East Lancs Rail Action Partnership to draw attention to their campaign to have the missing railway link between Colne and Skipton re-instated. Needless to say, the train had to travel by a very circuitous route via Blackburn and Hellifield.
