Colne: Guysyke
Guysyke runs northwards from Albert Road near the bottom. The premises of John Hartley, Funeral Directors, are seen on the right. Hartley is the most common surname in Colne - Wallace Hartley of Colne was the band leader on the 'Titanic' when it went down with the band remaining in place, playing 'Nearer, My God, to Thee'.

End of the line
Beyond the buffers were freight yards and an engine shed, so this solitary buffer stop is a world away from the heyday of railways

End of the line at Colne
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.

Crown Hotel, Albert Road, Colne, Lancashire
The 'Crown' adjoins Colne railway station, (a bus shelter at the end of a long single track from Burnley), and the user of public transport wishing to go to Skipton must change here to a bus, provided once an hour by Pennine Motors since the early 1990s. Prior to that it was necessary to change at Barnoldswick. Many years ago, the train would have taken him all the way to Skipton.
Note added, November 2013: In the last couple of years, Transdev, the operator of Burnley & Pendle buses, have extended their No.28 service through to Skipton on a regular basis, (daytime only) providing a much better link to the popular Yorkshire market town.

A bus shelter and a platform. Basic, but at least there was still an hourly service to Preston.
