Mytholmroyd Railway Station

Mytholmroyd railway station serves the communities of Mytholmroyd, Luddendenfoot, Midgley, Cragg Vale, and surrounding areas. It has disabled access via ramps instead of steps on both platforms, although the station is the only one to be built on a viaduct. It lies on the Calder Valley Line operated by Northern and is situated 7. 5mi west of Halifax and 25mi west of Leeds. HistoryThe Manchester and Leeds Railway (M& LR) was opened in stages. The section between and was opened on 5 October 1840 and completed in 1841, without a station between and Hebden Bridge. thumb The station was opened by the M& LR in May 1847; within a few weeks of this, the company became the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. FacilitiesThe entrance to the station is by way of two long step-free paths from each side of the Mytholmroyd Viaduct. The original station building (as seen above) included a ticket office, as the main entrance to both platforms. The station building was later closed and tickets had to be purchased on the train but later sheltered ticket machines were installed on platform 2, payable by card. Northern's online 'click and collect' system Application, allows the user to purchase tickets, which are then collected on Platform 2. In October 2004, the first arch of the viaduct on the access ramp was cleaned, the path was extended and new fencing was installed. Two live information screens have been added showing the trains service, type and stops / calls. In 2013, a bicycle area was added at the top of one of the ramps, covered by CCTV.
