History
Opened1982

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 Rail.

The station was opened on 17 May 1982 at a cost of £78,000.[citation needed] It was the first of the eighties-era stations on the Airedale line to be opened and is the only one to be built on an entirely new site (the others - such as Saltaire & 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.

Services

Monday to Saturday daytime there is a half-hourly service from Crossflatts to both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square in one direction and four trains an hour going towards Keighley and Skipton. In the evening there is a half hourly service to Leeds, an hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and three trains per hour to Skipton.

On Sundays there is an hourly service to Leeds and a two-hourly service to Bradford Forster Square with one or two trains per hour in the other direction to Skipton.
