Oxenhope railway station

Oxenhope railway station serves the village of Oxenhope, near Haworth, and within the City of Bradford Metropolitan District of West Yorkshire, England. It is the terminus of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, with trains to Haworth and Keighley.

Oxenhope village was not included in the Midland Railway's original plans for the branch line, with Haworth being the proposed terminus. However, a local mill owner successfully campaigned for the railway to be extended to Oxenhope, and the station opened on 13 April 1867, as the railway's terminus. On the original plans the railway was to extend into Lowertown, and there is still a bridge which was constructed as part of the railway to allow this; however, it was decided to terminate the railway at its current location.
