Thackley railway station was a railway station in Thackley, West Yorkshire, England.[1]
During the 1860s, two small railway companies were formed to promote suburban railways in Bradford, the Bradford, Eccleshill and Idle Railway and the Idle and Shipley Railway. Their schemes - and the companies themselves - were taken up by the Great Northern Railway, which built a line looping through the villages to the north-east of Bradford: from, through, and Thackley to Shipley.
The line was open to goods traffic on 4 May 1874, and to passengers on 18 January 1875.[2]
Thackley railway station was rebuilt in 1890–1894.[3]
Passenger service on the line ceased on 2 February 1931 and the passenger station closed, though goods traffic continued on the whole line until October 1964 and between Shipley and until 1968.[4]
The line is now a public footpath, with only ruined buildings and partially demolished platforms at track level to show that this was a railway station. The 1894 building still exists and is now a private dwelling, situated next to the 1874 humped back Crag Hill Road bridge.
