HistoryThe station served the village of Clayton in West Yorkshire, England. The station had an island platform and a reasonable goods yard. The cutting and station site has been infilled and housed erected on the site. The Bradford portal of Clayton Tunnel has also been infilled. The station opened for passengers in 1878 and closed in 1955, but the goods yard and tunnel remained open as a through route to Thornton Station up until the early 1961 when it closed completely and the tracks were torn up.[1] Clayton tunnelClayton tunnel lay immediately west of Clayton railway station. During the construction of the {{convert|1057|yd|m|abbr=on}} tunnel in 1874, two workers were killed when their lift fell down No1 shaft.
