Clitheroe
The 1893 station building at Clitheroe, (which replaced one of 1850 slightly to the south), seen from the 1994 reopening platforms on 7th April 2016. Regular services from Blackburn to Hellifield were withdrawn pre-Beeching on 10th September 1962 but excursions continued until 7th February 1971. The line then settled into 19 years of freight and diversion use until excursions resumed on 14th May 1990. On 29th May 1994, Clitheroe and the line to Blackburn were fully reopened to passengers. This included a county council ticket hall and information office at the new Clitheroe station but this closed on 5th February 2020. North of Clitheroe the line still sees freight, Sunday Dalesrail passenger excursions and railtours. 150201 from Manchester Victoria has just arrived on 7th April 2016.
