Mytholmroyd Railway Station October 2013

 Mytholmroyd Railway Station was opened in May 1847 by the Manchester & Leeds Railway with temporary platforms and buildings, several years after the railway was completed through the Calder Valley. These temporary buildings were replaced by a new station with platforms overhanging Mytholmroyd Viaduct in December 1871 and thats how things remained for over 100 years. In the 1980's some of the buildings that overhung the viaduct were removed, in 1985 the station became an unstaffed stop, and by the decades end the Grade II listed former ticket office and entrance had been bordered up and closed, after new platforms were constructed to the eastern end of the station, the platforms overhanging the viaduct were also removed around this time.

Mytholmroyd Station has limited facilities including a small car park, bus shelter cover on each platform and electronic ticket machines. No refreshment or toilet facilities can be found at the station. In the last full years of passenger numbers the station was used by 45912 passengers. This was for the year 2020/21 during the covid pandemic and was an approx average of 882 per week, down from an average of 3884 per week pre covid.
