Guiseley railway station serves Guiseley in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England. On the Wharfedale Line between Ilkley and Leeds/Bradford Forster Square, it is served mostly by Class 333 electric trains run by Northern Trains, which also manages the station.




History



The station opened in 1865 originally being owned by the Midland Railway. There were services to Otley until 1965 when the Arthington to Menston line closed under the Beeching axe. The line was electrified between 1994 and 1995 while the station was largely reconstructed in 2002.




Services



During Monday to Saturday daytimes services run to/from Leeds twice per hour and once each hour to/from Bradford (half-hourly in the peaks), meaning that as Guiseley is the first station that is served by trains on both branches of the line, there are three or four services every hour to Ilkley. On Monday to Saturday evenings, services are hourly to/from both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square. On Sundays, services are hourly to/from Leeds and Bradford. Services at the station are operated by British Rail Class 333 and Class 331 electric multiple units.




Facilities


The station facilities were redeveloped in 2002 to give a new waiting room on platform two (for trains to Leeds and Bradford) and a waiting room and ticket office on platform one (for trains to Ilkley). This office is open from 06:15–19:30 Mon–Sat and 09:15–16:30 on Sundays. A small car park is accessible from Station Road and the station has cycle lockers situated on either platform with an additional cycle shelter outside the ticket office. Passengers on foot can also access the station via a path from Netherfield Road or a path that connects with Morton Terrace and Otley Road. Step-free access is available only on the Ilkley-bound platform. The station is equipped with live information displays, there is a payphone on platform one and a help point outside the ticket office. A ticket vending machine, which can be used outside of ticket office hours, is on platform two.




Connections to Leeds Bradford Airport


Along with Horsforth station on the Harrogate Line, Guiseley is one of the two closest railway stations to Leeds Bradford Airport, at nearby Yeadon. An hourly bus service (Service A3) between the airport and Bradford Interchange runs along nearby Oxford Road. A more frequent bus service to/from the airport (Service A1) runs from Leeds railway station but takes longer.
