There are direct trains to [[Huddersfield]] and [[Manchester]] from [[Slaithwaite railway station]]. The Colne Valley defines local geography by channelling the railway line, the canal and the [[A62 road|A62]]: each of which has at one time been the primary means of transport across the [[Pennines]]. The small [[humpback bridge]] over the canal is called 'Tim Brig'; it is said to be named after a local innkeeper who used the bridge during smuggling operations with the [[narrowboat]]s passing through.

There are bus links from Slaithwaite to several places in the Huddersfield area. Services run by [[First West Yorkshire]] and [[First Manchester]] go from Slaithwaite to [[Marsden, West Yorkshire|Marsden]], [[Oldham]] and [[Manchester]] and to Huddersfield. Other bus services are to [[Holmfirth]], Blackmoorfoot and surrounding villages.
