Guiseley railway station is a railway station in Guiseley, in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England. On the Wharfedale Line between Ilkley and Leeds/Bradford Forster Square, it is served mostly by Class 333 electric trains run by Northern, which also manages the station.

Services

The station before electrification
The 2002 waiting room and ticket office.

During Monday to Saturday daytimes services run to/from Leeds and Bradford twice per hour, meaning that as Guiseley is the first station that is served by trains on both branches of the line, there are four services every hour to Ilkley. During Monday to Saturday evenings, services are hourly to/from both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square. On Sundays, services are hourly to/from Leeds and every two hours to/from Bradford.[1]

The station facilities were redeveloped in 2002 to give a new waiting room on platform two (for trains to Leeds and Bradford) and a waiting room and ticket office on platform one (for trains to Ilkley). This office is open from 06:15–19:30 Mon–Sat and 09:15–16:30 on Sundays. A small car park, which gets rather full on weekdays, is accessible from Station Road. Passengers on foot can also access the station via a path from Netherfield Road or a path that connects with Morton Terrace and Otley Road.

Along with Horsforth station on the Harrogate Line, Guiseley is one of the two closest railway stations to Leeds Bradford International Airport, at nearby Yeadon. An hourly bus service (Service 737) between the airport and Bradford Interchange runs along nearby Oxford Road. However, a more frequent bus service to/from the airport (Service 757) runs from Leeds railway station but this can take longer.
