Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road |
The station was opened on 17 May 1982 at a cost of £78,000.[1] It was the first of the eighties-era stations on the Airedale Line to be opened and is the only one to be built by British Rail on an entirely new site (the others - such as Saltaire and Frizinghall - had all previously been closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts).
It is used heavily during school term time due to its proximity to Bingley Grammar School.
The station is unstaffed, but there are ticket machines available. Step-free access to both platforms is via ramps from the main road.[2] Digital passenger information screens, timetable poster boards and an automated announcement system are installed to provide train running details.
There is a half-hourly service to Leeds, an hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and three trains per hour to Skipton throughout the day on weekdays and Saturdays. The first daily departure from Leeds to Carlisle stops here on weekdays (as does the evening Ribblehead to Leeds service), but other longer distance services run through without calling here.[3]
On Sundays there is an hourly service to Leeds and to Bradford Forster Square, with two trains per hour to Skipton. The first departures of the day from Leeds to both Morecambe & Carlisle also call.
