Title A name given to the resource Stainland Branch - West Vale Station. - LYR00151 Subject The topic of the resource LYR, Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, Places, Railmotor, Railway, Railway station, Railways, Stainland Branch, Station, Station Building, Station Canopies, Station Platform, Steam engine, Steam loco, Tank Engine, Train, West Vale Description An account of the resource 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.
