LYRS 2596 - West Vale Station in LMS days with a Halifax bound Railmotor. Unusually for a small station it had stone buildings on both platforms. This Railmotor LMS No. 10614 has a double bogie in addition to its articulated coach, quite a load to take uphill to Halifax.
The Stainland Branch left the Calder Valley Main Line at Greetland and opened in 1875 up to near Brookroyd Mills at Holywell Green, whose owners, the Shaws, had influenced the line’s construction. Although less than two miles long it was heavily engineered with two substantial stone viaducts; West Vale 13 arches and Holywell Green 14 arches. Despite in 1907 the introduction of Railmotors the Branch was unable to cope first with competition from electric trams and then from motor buses and closed to passengers in 1929 and fully in 1959.

The Stainland Branch left the Calder Valley Main Line at Greetland and opened in 1875 up to near Brookroyd Mills at Holywell Green, whose owners, the Shaws, had influenced the line’s construction. Although less than two miles long it was heavily engineered with two substantial stone viaducts; West Vale 13 arches and Holywell Green 14 arches. The single platform station at Holywell Green was poorly placed down a steep hill well below Stainland.
Despitein 1907 the introduction of railmotors the Branch was unable to cope first with competition from electfic trams and then from motor buses and closed to passengers in 1929 and fully in 1959.

LYRS 0663 - Railmotor No 8 on Ripponden Branch at Sowerby Bridge. The branch line from Sowerby Bridge to Ripponden opened in 1878 and on to Rishworth in 1881. The original intention had been to tunnel under Blackstone Edge and re-join the Manchester line near Smithy Bridge so as to reduce journey time between Manchester and Leeds. Railmotors, short tank engines with a carriage attached, seen here, were introduced on the Rishworth Branch in 1907 in response to competition from electric trams. As a result of further competition from motor buses the Branch closed to passengers in 1929 and fully in 1958. Although built double track only one was ever used.

LYRS 2590. Rishworth Station - general view along platform with Railmotor. The branch line from Sowerby Bridge to Ripponden opened in 1878 and on to Rishworth in 1881. The original intention had been to tunnel under Blackstone Edge and re-join the Manchester line near Smithy Bridge so as to reduce journey time between Manchester and Leeds. This did not proceed and the Standedge Line became the preferred direct route between the two cities. Although double track, only one was ever used. To compete with the introduction of electric trams Railmotors, short tank engines with a carriage attached, seen here, were introduced in 1907 but couldn't compete with the later additional competition of motor buses and the branch closed to passengers in 1929 and finally to all traffic in 1958.
