The Kirkburton branch was a railway branch in West Yorkshire,England. The line was built by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in the 1860s,the only LNWR branch line in the Huddersfield area,although originally,the intention had been to link Kirkburton with Clayton West and through to Barnsley,but this never came to fruition. The line opened to traffic in 1867,and was closed to passengers in 1930. Freight carried on using the branch until 1965. A second railway station for Deighton was opened in 1982 on the main running line between Huddersfield and Mirfield. The removal of passenger services along the branch was down to low passenger numbers;the railway ran along the valley floor and most of the populated areas were high up on the valley sides.
