Cononley railway station serves the village of Cononley in North Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail.

It was originally opened in late 1847, at a cost of £900, by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway. It was closed on 22 March 1965. It was reopened in 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 situated right beside Cononley main street.

Services

During Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service from Skipton to both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square plus four departures each hour to Skipton. In the evenings there is a half-hourly service to Leeds and hourly to Bradford, with three trains per hour to Skipton. On Sundays, the service is hourly to Leeds and two-hourly to Bradford with either one or two per hour in the opposite direction.

These services are normally provided by Class 333 or Class 322 EMUs.

Longer distance services to destinations beyound Skipton normally pass through without stopping, though the first weekday morning service to Carlisle and the last evening train from Ribblehead to Leeds do both serve the station. Certain early morning weekend trains on both lines also call here.
