From 1848 to 1970 trains ran between Colne and Skipton with three intermediate station at Earby, Thornton and Elslack and a branch to Barnoldswick. The track was removed several years ago and trains from Preston terminate here. As of 2022, a local action group SELRAP (Skipton and East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership) was proposing reinstating the 20km link with just one new station at Earby, offering through trains to Leeds.
