Keighley Railway Station

Keighley railway station serves the town of Keighley in West Yorkshire, England. First opened in March 1847 by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway (although rebuilt on the present site in 1883), the station is located on the Airedale Line 17mi north west of Leeds. It is managed by Northern, who operate most of the passenger trains serving it. Electric trains operate frequently from Keighley towards Bradford Forster Square, Leeds and Skipton. Longer distance diesel trains on the Leeds to Morecambe Line and Settle to Carlisle Line also call here. Keighley is also the northern terminus of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. This is a heritage branch-line railway run by volunteers that was originally built by the Midland Railway and opened in 1867. Closed to passenger traffic in 1962, it was reopened by the K& WVR Preservation Society six years later and is now a popular tourist attraction. Trains on the former GNR lines to Bradford and Halifax via Queensbury also served the station from 1882 until closure in May 1955.
