Cononley railway station serves the village of Cononley in North Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Trains.
The station was first opened in late 1847, at a cost of £900, by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway. It was closed on 22 March 1965, though its platforms remained intact and the main buildings survived until the mid-1970s.[1]
It was reopened by British Rail on 20 April 1988 at a cost of £34,000, which was borne by the county, district and local parish councils and the Rural Development Commission.
The station has two platforms and is right beside Cononley's main street. Step-free access is available to both platforms, via the level crossing at the Skipton end of the station. It is unstaffed, but has now been fitted with ticket machines (one on the southbound platform and the other on the northbound side adjacent to the exit) to allow passengers to buy before travelling.[2] An automated tannoy system and digital information screens provide train running information to passengers.
During Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service to and hourly to, with three trains per hour towards . The Bradford service was reduced from every 30 minutes back to hourly at the spring 2023 timetable change, though it still runs at this increased frequency at peak periods.
On Sundays is an hourly service to Leeds and Bradford with two trains per hour to Skipton.[3]
These services are normally provided by Class 333 or Class 331 electric multiple units.[4]
Services towards and normally pass through without stopping; however, the first morning services to Carlisle and, plus the last evening train from to Leeds, each serve the station. One train to both Morecambe and Carlisle stop here on Sunday mornings.[5]
