A bit of track I would like to see reopened is the section from Colne to Skipton. Trains at present run from Blackpool to Preston and on through Blackburn & Burnley (line divides here for Leeds via Copy pit & Bradford) and on to Colne. I used this section quite regularly as a lad when I went spotting and still cant understand why they cut the line. It made a good divertion route as well to Leedsand the south.
There is a movement starting to get the tracks relaid = Hope they succeed!
