Garforth railway station

In July 2023, the footbridge, connecting both platforms to Aberford Road, was closed and demolished, for the new replacement bridge to be built.

This was done in order to install new overhead wires and to include step free access on to the platforms and Aberford Road.

[5] There is a ticket office (open 06:00–14:00 Mondays to Saturdays) and waiting room in the buildings; the remaining space is leased out to a taxi company.

Refreshments can purchased from the Station House Café, which opened in August 2016, and is situated on the Leeds bound platform (2).

[7] TransPennine Express trains also stop at Garforth hourly towards Leeds, Huddersfield and Liverpool Lime Street westbound and Scarborough eastbound.

National Express East Coast proposed to operate trains directly between Garforth and London from December 2009.

The plans have not as yet (summer 2019) been implemented, as VTEC no longer operates the East Coast franchise and a private successor is yet to be agreed upon.
