View northward, towards buffer-stops, formerly towards Skipton. This was the terminus of the L&YR (East Lancashire section) from Burnley etc., but until 2/2/70 there was an ex-Midland line on to Skipton that made a useful secondary trans-Pennine route. The DMU is a Class 142 'Pacer' forming a service to Burnley, Blackburn, Preston and Blackpool. (Cf. Image] and Image]).
