North Bridge railway station, also known as Halifax North Bridge, served on the Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway in West Yorkshire, England. The North bridge itself had to be rebuilt 11 feet (3.4 m) higher by the L&YR and the GNR to clear the tracks. The station closed in 1955 and has been since demolished, with a leisure centre built on the site. The only remaining remnant of the station is the station footbridge and the nearby Old Lane Tunnel.
