St Dunstans railway station is a closed station in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.[1]
When the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway (later absorbed by the Great Northern) arrived in Bradford they initially built a terminus at Adolphus Street. This was poorly situated, so a link line was built from east of the terminus looping south and joining the existing Lancashire and Yorkshire line at Mill Lane junction, allowing LB & HJ services to enter the station. When the Queensbury lines were constructed they entered Bradford from the west and passed under the L&YR line south of Mill Lane junction. They then formed a Y junction with the GN link line, just to the east of Mill Lane junction. St. Dunstan's was built in this location as a transfer station so that passengers travelling east / west could change trains without entering Bradford Exchange.[2] With the run down in Queensbury services patronage of the station fell and it closed in 1952.[3]
