It is recorded in the Bradford Observer of 8 March 1847 that "no fewer than 100,000 cubic yards of solid earth and stone have been poured into this insatiable maw of a bog.

[7] Immediately south of the station is Bingley Tunnel (151 yards (138 m) long)[8] against which a semaphore signal was placed for movements towards Shipley.

[9] The tunnel mouth at Bingley had a painted white patch on it directly behind the semaphore arm, thereby allowing greater recognition for drivers of the signal's position.

[7] In 2013, an unoccupied car ended up on the line just south of Bingley station and was hit at 8:45 pm by a Leeds to Skipton service.

[11] The station is staffed part-time (except evenings and Sundays) – the booking office is sited in the main entrance at street level and is linked to the platforms via ramps, footbridge and a lift.
