[1] From 1872, there was an extensive network of sidings and sheds, known as Manningham motive power depot, to the north of the station.
In the 1950s, and up to closure in 1965, the Bradford Railway Circle used a hut on the platform at Manningham station for its meetings.
[3] The map on the back of 'Canal Road News', Issue 1 (March 2006), published by the canal Road Business Forum, marks 'Potential Manningham Station' on approximately the site of the original station.
However, this map (and the whole publication) is mainly about the proposed rebuilding of the Bradford Canal, and there is no mention of Manningham Station in the text.
In January 2008, it was revealed that the City of Bradford prepared a bid to the Regional Transport Board for £10 million, which, combined with the £10 million the council received from the sale of Leeds Bradford Airport would provide funding for the reopening of Manningham station, as well as a number of other road infrastructure projects in the Aire Valley.
