“At Skipton Building Society we recognise that improved links between East Lancashire and Leeds will bring economic and social benefits to our heartland and we are proud to support that.”

SELRAP is delighted that Skipton Building Society is supporting the campaign and their recognition of the real benefits it would bring by re-instating the line.
