Colne-Skipton reopening of a local rail link needed!

It has long awaited, and deserves a chance and the full go-ahead. Does the government want sustainable growth and local-regional regeneration? Then reopening this rail link is the way to go. BRTA supports it, our Northern Area Rep cc'd here, is also instrumentally gathering and giving support. Please add your voice by writing to your local MP: https://members.parliament.uk/members/commons?sort=1 and add your voice to SELRAP - the group leading on campaigning for the local rail reopening. It makes absolute sense and should be a top 10 of such reinstatements in the North with others similarly nationwide including Wales and Scotland too.
See: https://www.selrap.org.uk/ and our campaigns pages for other area lists too (East Anglia to be done shortly): https://brtarail.com/our-campaigns/
