}}{{Bradford Lines}}Eccleshill railway station was a railway station in Eccleshill, West Yorkshire, England.[2]

History

During the 1860s, two small railway companies were formed to promote suburban railways in Bradford, the Bradford, Eccleshill and Idle Railway and the Idle and Shipley Railway. Their schemes - and the companies themselves - were taken up by the Great Northern Railway, which built a line looping through the villages to the north-east of Bradford: from {{rws|Laisterdyke}}, through {{stnlnk|Eccleshill}}, Idle and {{rws|Thackley}} to Shipley.

The line was open to goods traffic on 4 May 1874, and to passengers on 18 January 1875.[3] Eccleshill railway station opened on 15 April 1875.[4]

Passenger service on the line ceased on 2 February 1931 and the passenger station closed, though goods traffic and excursions continued on the whole line until October 1964 and between Shipley and Idle until 1968.[5][6]
