Clitheroe railway station serves the town of Clitheroe in Lancashire, England. The station is the northern terminus of Ribble Valley Line operated by Northern Rail and is 16 km (10 miles) north of Blackburn.

The current station opened originally in 1872 but was closed during the Beeching Cuts in 1962. The station re-opened in 1994 when passenger services began again from Blackburn.

The station has since become an award winning bus and train transport interchange. The bus station is known as the "Clitheroe Interchange" connects passengers from towns and villages in the Ribble Valley area by bus to the train service to Blackburn and Manchester.

[edit] Services

There is generally an hourly service daily from Clitheroe to Blackburn and Manchester Victoria with extra trains during peak hours.

On Sundays in the summer, one or two trains operate from Preston along to the Ribble Valley Line via Clitheroe to Hellifield railway station and onwards towards Carlisle.
