View towards Shipley and Bradford in 1961

Baildon railway station serves the town of Baildon near Shipley in West Yorkshire, England. The station reopened under British Rail on 5 January 1973, by the Chairman of Baildon Council, Arnold Lightowler, having been closed for exactly 20 years. It is situated Шаблон:Convert north of Bradford Forster Square, on the Wharfedale Line. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Trains.

History

Opened by the Midland Railway in December 1876,[1] the station became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, and then passed to the North Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Transport Commission as an economy measure in January 1953 (though it briefly reopened for 3 months in 1957). Goods traffic at the station ceased in April 1964.[2]

Services

During Monday to Saturday daytimes, in the evening and all day on Sundays there is an hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and Ilkley.[3] This increases to every thirty minutes at peak times.

Unlike other stations on the Wharfedale and Airedale lines, Baildon has no direct service to Leeds owing to its position on the curve between the two lines. Passengers must instead change at Shipley or Guiseley (Shipley having more services) to access Leeds.

The site today

The line has been reduced to single track, so there is only one platform, and the station building has been sold. The second platform is disused and covered in weeds.

The station is unstaffed, but a ticket machine is now available. Tickets must be purchased from the machine or on the train with a Promise To Pay Notice from the same machine. A long-line PA system and digital display screens provide train running information. Step-free access is provided from the car park and main entrance to the platform.[4]
