It was opened in 1865 and is located on the Otley and Ilkley Joint Railway (and thus run by both the Midland Railway and the North Eastern Railway),3+1⁄4 miles (5.2 km) east of Ilkley. The station is unstaffed (and has been so since October 1968) and was once the junction for the line to Leeds via Otley. This route closed in 1965, as a result of the Beeching Axe. [1] The station building still stands, but is now privately owned.
In February and March 2022, tactile paving was installed along both platform edges. [2]
There are plans for the platforms to be extended to allow for 6 carriage trains. [3]
