Normanton Station was opened on 30th June 1840 by the North Midland Railway, later a constituent part of the Midland Railway, on its Leeds-Derby line and on the same day the York & North Midland Railway opened between Normanton and York and this was followed on the 5th October with the opening of the section of the M&LR between Hebden Bridge and Normanton. It became a busy and important passenger interchange. However it lost much of its traffic in the 1950s and 60s and today it is unstaffed, the station buildings are all gone and the only service is the Hallam Line between Leeds, Castleford, Wakefield (Kirkgate), Barnsley and Sheffield.

The station was opened by the M&LR at the same time as the section of its line between Hebden Bridge and Normanton and was Wakefield’s only station until Westgate Station was opened in 1867. The station was rebuilt in 1854 and is seen here late 19th century.
The station was Listed in 1979 but by that time some buildings had been demolished and the unstaffed station continued to deteriorate and was subject to vandalism all deterring it being used. The Goods Depot seen here was demolished in 2008 to be replaced by a Network Rail works depot. A £4 million refurbishment project of the station took place between 2013 and 2015.

A very derelict looking Brighouse Station, date unknown. The first station here opened with the line in October 1840 and was to the east of Huddersfield Road and at the time was called 'Brighouse and Bradford Station' as there as then no railway to Bradford. It was replaced with the station seen here, west of Huddersfield Road, in the 1890s.
With the cessation of passenger services on the section of the Calder Valley Line between Mirfield and Sowerby Bridge the station closed in January 1970 leaving Brighouse the largest town in the West Riding without a train service, the station was subsequently demolished. A new station was opened in 2000 following the reintroduction of services on this section of the line including in 2010 a Bradford – London service operated by Grand Central.

The first station at Elland opened in October 1840 at the same time as the section of the M&LR between Hebden Bridge and Normanton and was immediately to the east of Elland Tunnel. It was rebuilt a little to the east in 1865 and then again in 1894 as an island station as seen here in LMS days. It was closed in 1962. It had been hoped that a station would have been reopened in 2000 when passenger services were reintroduced on this section of the line.

The station on the M&LR’s Calder Valley Main Line was originally known as North Dean. It was opened in July 1844 on completion of the M&LR’s Halifax Branch which ran from a junction at North Dean up to a terminus station at Shaw Syke, south of Halifax town centre.
The view here is looking down the line towards Elland Tunnel and the Stainland Branch junction was just beyond the white picket fence in the far centre of the photo. The left hand track running off bottom right is the junction for the steeply graded line up to Halifax.
The station closed in September 1962 but the junction remains in use.

Repairing the fence on the unusual viaduct platform. The station is well above the valley floor resulting in the platforms running along the length of the viaduct but they also overhung it supported by massive brackets. The now disused station building itself is three storeys. The platforms have been extended eastwards and are no longer used over the viaduct and the overhang has been dismantled. The timber building here on the right, the signal and signal box and the yards beyond have now all gone.

Taken sometime betwen 1966 and 1973; a 1966 photo shows timber sleepers but here they are concrete and the station clock seen behind the second pillar had been removed by the time of a 1973 photo. The small steps on the platform were to assist passengers alighting and boarding from the low platform which was raised mid-1970s. A water crane is just visible far right. Difficult to tell from the b&w image but the station signage at that time would have been in the white on tangerine colouring of BR's North Eastern Region.
