Bramley railway station serves the suburb of Bramley, Leeds, England. It lies on the Calder Valley line 4miles west from Leeds.
The original station was opened by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway on 1 August 1854.[1] This was closed by British Railways on 4 July 1966, the last trains having called on 2 July. The station had platforms opposite each other and were connected by a footbridge.

There are shelters and passenger information screens on each platform, along with a system to provide train running information.
