Burnley Central

Approaching the last remaining platform at Burnley Central through an avenue of trees, 142030 is on a Colne to Blackpool South service in the early evening of 08 July 2013. The land on the left once accommodated a very large goods yard. This former double track line, prior to 1970, ran through to Skipton and although a local group is trying to have the Yorkshire link reopened, the present line from Gannow Junction to Colne is just a 'long siding'.
