Kirkburton railway station

The Huddersfield-Kirkburton Branch Line opened on 7 October 1867, serving Deighton, Kirkheaton, Fenay Bridge and Lepton and Kirkburton.

[2] These terminated shortly after the LMS had gained a half share in Huddersfield Corporation bus operations.

[3] The line continued to be used to transport goods until 1965, when a combination of road haulage and a decline in industry lead to closure.

A one-mile stub off the main line at Deighton remained to serve the ICI works until February 1971.

[4] The bulk of the station site is now occupied by a housing development along North Wood Park, which follows the old track bed.
