Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Crossflatts railway station serves the Crossflatts area of Bingley, north of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. The station is on the Airedale Line, 14.5 miles (23 km) north west of Leeds and 6.5 miles (10 km) north west of Bradford Forster Square. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.

The station was opened on 17 May 1982 at a cost of £78,000.[1] It was the first of the eighties-era stations on the Airedale Line to be opened and is the only one to be built by British Rail on an entirely new site (the others - such as Saltaire and Frizinghall - had all previously been closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching cuts).

It is used heavily during school term time due to its proximity to Bingley Grammar School.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed, but there are ticket machines available. Step-free access to both platforms is via ramps from the main road.[2] Digital passenger information screens, timetable poster boards and an automated announcement system are installed to provide train running details.
