Title
Greetland Station. - NGH00119
Description
The down platform buildings following closure of the station in September 1962. Apart from the signal box seen here which survived until 2009 the station was demolished in 1965.
The Second World War signal box was built by the LMS in 1941 replacing the L&YR 1878 box. The withdrawal of services between Halifax and Huddersfield in about 1970 resulted in the closure of the short section of line from Greetland Junction up to Dryclough Junction, on the outskirts of Halifax, which in turn resulted in Greetland Signal Box being taken out of service. Rail services were restored in 2000 following restoration of the permanent way between the two junctions and the Greetland box was brought back into use only to close in 2009 when signalling control was transferred to Healey Mills PSB. The Greetland box was subsequently demolished.
