Title
Ilkley Station Frontage - DNT00194
Description
The western terminus of the ‘Otley & Ilkley Joint Railway’ the joint MR/NER station opened with the line in 1865. In 1888 the MR opened a line from Ilkley to Skipton with their own through platforms which were regarded as a separate station from the joint terminus. Ilkley now had train services to and from Skipton, Bradford , Leeds, Otley and Harrogate. The lines to Skipton and east of Burley in Wharfedale were closed in 1965 and Ilkley was once again a terminus station reduced to just Leeds and Bradford services. The lines were electrified in 1995 and the station subject to a major refurbishment in 2011 but the buildings seen here have not been in railway usage since 1988.
