Idle (L&BR) railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Idle railway station was a short-lived station serving Idle, near Bradford.
It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Railway in 1847, but it was closed the next year. It was located near the west entrance of the Thackley Tunnel.
Later, in 1875 another Idle Station was built, on the Great Northern Railway's Laisterdyke—Shipley line. The original station was actually very much closer to Thackley Station on this line than to Idle.
