Saltaire railway station serves the village of Saltaire near Shipley in West Yorkshire, England. It is situated {{convert|3+1/2|mi|km|0}} north of {{rws|Bradford Forster Square}}. HistoryThe original station was opened in May 1856 by the Midland Railway, which had absorbed the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway between Shipley and Colne in 1851. It closed on 20 March 1965 following the Beeching Axe, but West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and British Rail reopened it on 9 April 1984.[1] The current station has wooden platforms and waiting shelters (though these are stone-built rather than the metal and plexiglass designs used elsewhere). Its predecessor was of more substantial stone construction, with buildings on each platform; these were demolished in 1970, five years after the station closed.[2] The station is on the Airedale line, between Bradford and Leeds, and {{stnlnk|Skipton}}. It is a busy commuter station both for passengers travelling to Leeds and Bradford and for staff in companies based in Salt's Mill, as well as serving tourists visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site at Saltaire. The lower station of the Shipley Glen Tramway is about half a mile from Saltaire Station. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal, River Aire and Roberts Park, Saltaire are also close by. FacilitiesThough unstaffed, the station has ticket machines available. There is step-free access to both platforms via ramps from the street above.[3] Train running information can be obtained via digital information screens, timetable posters and an automated P.A system. ServicesDuring Monday to Saturday daytime, there is a half-hourly service to both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square in one direction and four trains an hour towards Skipton. Evenings there is a half-hourly service to Leeds, an hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and three trains per hour to Skipton. The first departure from Leeds to Carlisle also calls here on weekdays, whilst on Saturdays it is the first train to Lancaster that stops.[4] On Sundays there is an hourly service to Leeds and to Bradford Forster Square, with two trains per hour to Skipton. The first departures from Leeds to both Morecambe and Carlisle also call here. {{rail start}}{{rail line|previous=Shipley|next=Bingley|route=NorthernAiredale Line|col={{Northern colour}} }}{{rail line|previous=Shipley|next=Bingley|route=Northern Settle-Carlisle Line|col={{Northern colour}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |next = {{stnlnk|Bingley}} |previous = {{stnlnk|Shipley}} |route = Midland Railway Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway |col = {{MR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Whitaker|first1=Alan|title=Bradford Railways Remembered|date=1986|publisher=Dalesman Books|location=Clapham|isbn=0852068700|page=12}} 2. ^[https://saltairestories.org/qr-tour/14-railway-station/Saltaire Saltaire Railway Station] Saltaire Stories; Retrieved 29 November 2016 3. ^Saltaire station facilities National Rail Enquiries; Retrieved 29 November 2016 4. ^GB National Rail Timetable December 2017 Edition, Table 36 Bibliography
