Title A name given to the resource Ripponden Station. - LYR00108 Subject The topic of the resource Branch Line, LYR, Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, Places, Railway, Railway station, Railways, Ripponden, Rishworth Branch, Ryburn Valley, Sowerby Bridge, Station, Station Halt Description An account of the resource LYRS 2583 - Ripponden Station - general view looking towards Sowerby Bridge. Although double track only one had ever been commercially used. The Branch from Sowerby Bridge to Ripponden opened in 1878 and then 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. Not being able to compete first with trams and then with motor buses the Branch closed to passengers in 1929 and finally to all traffic in 1958.
