Renewed calls have been made to reopen the Skipton to Colne railway link, which has been closed since the early 1970s.
The Skipton East Lancashire Rail Action Partnership (SELRAP) campaign group, wants the link reopened.
Pendle Lib Dem councillor, Tom Whipp wants the SELRAP involved in talks to re-open the railway link.
Cllr Whipp announced this after Labour won the general election.
Colne to Skipton railway link was closed in the early 1970s, but campaigners including various councils, politicians, the SELRAP group and business leaders want it reconnected.
They said the whole of east Lancashire including Pendle, Hyndburn and Burnley would benefit from better rail connections to Yorkshire’s big cities.
They claim links to Skipton would be well used.
However Councillor Tom Whipp claims this process of re-opening the railway could take years.
