Season 8, Episode 142 - Trains at Frizinghall station

Our ninth and final station of the day brings us onto the line to Bradford and brings us to one of our personal favourites on the Airedale Line in Frizinghall Frizinghall station was opened by the Midland Railway on 1st February 1875. It remained in operation until it was closed on 20th March 1965, a casualty of the Beeching Axe. However, the line on which it stood remained open, and 22 years later, the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and British Rail reopened the station. The original station had two platforms opposite each other on the north side of Frizinghall Road, but the current station, opened on 7th September 1987, has its two platforms separated: the northbound platform is approximately where it was before, and the southbound is to the south of Frizinghall Road. Bradford Grammar School was relocated to Frizinghall in the late 1940s. From then until closure, and again after reopening, pupils have constituted one of the main sources of traffic at the station. Indeed, it was an English teacher at Bradford Grammar School, Dr Robin Sisson, who actively fought for Frizinghall station to reopen. Frizinghall signal box is preserved in working order at Damems Junction, on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. Nowadays, in this video, we see a variety of Northern Rail stock heading for a variety of destinations including Bradford Forster Square, Skipton, Ilkley and Leeds Please rate, comment and subscribe and thanks for watching!
