History

The original station was opened by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway on 1 August 1854.^[1] This was closed by British Railways on 4 July 1966,^[1] the last trains having called on 2 July. The station had platforms opposite each other and were connected by a footbridge.

The present station off Stanningley Road opened on 12 September 1983^[1] by Metro (West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive). The station's platforms are staggered.

Services

Monday to Saturday daytimes three trains per hour head eastbound towards Leeds, and westbound to Bradford Interchange and Halifax. Two of three go beyond Halifax to Manchester Victoria and the other towards Huddersfield via Brighouse. The service to Huddersfield usually originates at Selby, but only one train per day in the other direction currently runs there. Evenings two trains an hour head eastbound to Leeds and two westbound - one through to Manchester Victoria and one to Huddersfield.^[2]

On Sundays there are two trains per hour towards Leeds and to Bradford Interchange. One westbound service runs through to Manchester and the other runs to either Huddersfield or Halifax.

The Northern service to Blackpool North passes through Bramley but does not stop there.
