Cottingley Railway Station

 Cottingley Railway Station is a 2 platform stop approx. 3 miles south west of Leeds, West Yorkshire, built to serve the communities of Churwell and Cottingley. Opened by West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and British Rail on the 25th April 1988, the station is a basic facility offering limited shelter, car parking, facilities and access. Passenger use before the covid pandemic was steady at approx. 100000 per year, which is quite some growth on the average of 10000 per year in the early 2000's.

The station is intended to close in late 2022, early 2023 when the nearby White Rose Railway Station opens, the difference of just 1/2 a mile between the stations on the same Huddersfield Line makes keeping both unviable. The footbridge will remain after the station's closure.
