[3] Situated on the edge of the village and below it, the station closed in 1970, along with the railway; it had previously avoided earlier closure proposals in 1959.

[5] The track through the station was lifted later that year and the main building on the westbound platform demolished by 1973.

The former station house survived demolition and is now privately owned; the trackbed is used as a shared-use path, with a parking area for the nearby cricket ground.

The railway between Colne and Skipton is proposed for reopening to enable a cross-Pennine service; it would allow residents access to Leeds within one hour.

One of the scoping reports commissioned by SELRAP notes that there would be only two intermediate stations between Colne and Skipton, at Foulridge and Earby.
