The station is on the Airedale Line, 14.5 miles (23 km) north west of Leeds and 6.5 miles (10 km) north west of Bradford Forster Square.[1] It was the first of the eighties-era stations on the Airedale Line to be opened and is the only one to be built by British Rail on an entirely new site (the others - such as Saltaire and Frizinghall - had all previously been closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts).[2] Digital passenger information screens, timetable poster boards and an automated announcement system are installed to provide train running details.The first daily departure from Leeds to Carlisle and from Bradford to Carnforth stops here on weekdays (as does the evening Ribblehead to Leeds service), but other longer distance services run through without calling here.This article on a railway station in Yorkshire and the Humber is a stub.
