abstract
  • The line was originally owned by the Midland Railway from Leeds to Burley-in-Wharfedale. At this point the line became joint property, with the North Eastern Railway, and was known as the Otley & Ilkley Joint Railway (O&IJt). The two lines from Leeds and Bradford come together at Esholt Junction - the location of an 1892 crash - south of Guiseley. The route from Leeds leaves the main line near Calverley and continues along the Aire valley until climbing a hill to: * Guiseley railway station * Menston railway station * Burley-in-Wharfedale railway station * Ben Rhydding railway station * Ilkley railway station A new station, Kirkstall Forge, is planned on the Aire Valley section of the route between Leeds and Guiseley. Plans also exist to reinstate the O&IJt branch line to Otley from Milner Wood Junction, between Menston and Burley. The first section of the route from Bradford Forster Square is also used by the Airedale and Leeds-Bradford Line. The service to Ilkley branches north of Shipley railway station to: * Baildon railway station a reopened station * Esholt: station closed * Apperley Junction for the line from Leeds * and on to Guiseley, Menston, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Ben Rhydding, and Ilkley The line was electrified throughout using 25kV AC Overhead between 1994 and 1995. The now-closed and lifted Midland line continued west of Ilkley via Addingham, Bolton Abbey and Embsay to Skipton. The section from Embsay to Bolton Abbey has been reopened by enthusiasts who operates steam locomotives as the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.
