Farsley
Farsley is a town in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire, England to the west of Leeds city centre, east of Bradford. Farsley is situated between the two cities and near the town of Pudsey. Before April 1974, Farsley was part of the Borough of Pudsey. Before 1934 it was its own urban district council. It had its own council offices opposite the cenotaph, which is now a dental practice. The ward of Calverley and Farsley also includes the estate of Swinnow and some northern parts of Pudsey. During the industrial revolution, Farsley was a centre for wool processing as there were a number of mills in the area. Sunny Bank Mills, still owned by the Gaunt family, is currently part of a huge multi-million revitalisation project bringing a new appreciation of Farsley's mill heritage. Farsley is just off the main road between Leeds and Bradford and just off the A6110 Leeds outer ring road. New Pudsey railway station is between Farsley and Pudsey providing train s ...

Beeching Axe
The Beeching cuts (also Beeching Axe) was a plan to increase the efficiency of the nationalised railway system in Great Britain. The plan was outlined in two reports: ''The Reshaping of British Railways'' (1963) and ''The Development of the Major Railway Trunk Routes'' (1965), written by Richard Beeching and published by the British Railways Board. The first report identified 2,363 stations and of railway line for closure, amounting to 55% of stations, 30% of route miles, and 67,700 British Rail positions, with an objective of stemming the large losses being incurred during a period of increasing competition from road transport and reducing the rail subsidies necessary to keep the network running. The second report identified a small number of major routes for significant investment. The 1963 report also recommended some less well-publicised changes, including a switch to the now-standard practice of containerisation for rail freight, and the replacement of some services wit ...

Pudsey Lowtown Railway Station
Pudsey Lowtown railway station is a closed railway station in Pudsey, in the former West Riding of Yorkshire, located about west of Leeds station. It served the eastern parts of the town of Pudsey. It was opened to passengers on 1 April 1878 as an intermediate station on the single-track branch line from Bramley to Pudsey Greenside, built by the Great Northern Railway. Freight traffic on this line had already started in 1877. In 1893 the line was double-tracked and extended beyond Pudsey Greenside through Greenside Tunnel towards Laisterdyke and Dudley Hill, forming the Pudsey Loop. Upon the reorganisation of the railways in 1923, the line passed to the London and North Eastern Railway, and in 1948 to the Eastern Region of British Railways. The station was located on a north–south section of the line, south of the bridge of Lowtown street (B6154) across the railway cutting, with the station building standing near the road at the northern end of the station.

Pudsey Loop Line Railway
The Pudsey loop was a railway line in the former West Riding of Yorkshire, England, which served the town of Pudsey and later offered a second connection between Bramley in the east and Laisterdyke and Dudley Hill in the west, in addition to the existing line between Leeds and Bradford Exchange station. It was opened by the Great Northern Railway as a dead-end branch from Stanningley to Pudsey in 1877. However there was demand for a better connection with the main line network, and the line was extended to make a through route. Considerable earthworks and a tunnel made this a difficult work to execute. The line opened in 1895 and became used as a through route, as an alternative to the earlier line. Declining use eventually led to closure in 1964. Demand for a railway The Great Northern Railway route between Leeds and Bradford had been built by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway and opened in 1854. The GNR operated the trains from the outset, and took it ove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Laisterdyke Railway Station
Laisterdyke railway station is a closed station in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, that served the suburb of the same name. History The station was opened on 1 August 1854 on the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway's Leeds to line. Three years later, a second route from the station to via and Morley (Top) was opened by the same company, making the station a junction of some importance. Further construction by the ambitious Great Northern led to the addition of branches to Wakefield via Adwalton and in 1864, Shipley in 1875 and Pudsey (Greenside) in 1893. The facilities provided here were consequently quite generous, with four platforms, two signal boxes and a sizeable goods yard. The branch to Shipley was an early casualty of road competition, losing its passenger service in February 1931. The other routes survived to be taken into British Railways ownership upon nationalisation in 1948. Both, however, succumbed to the Beeching Axe The Be ...

Greenside Tunnel
Greenside Tunnel is a former railway tunnel in Pudsey, West Yorkshire, England. History Greenside Tunnel was built when the branch line from Stanningley to Pudsey Greenside was extended towards Laisterdyke, resulting in the line known as Pudsey Loop. The tunnel was opened in 1893 as an extension to the railway from the former Pudsey Greenside railway station which was originally built as a terminal station. Since the railway line closed on 15 July 1964, it has been out of use and has been fenced off. Around 2006, planning permission had been granted to fill in the tunnel and the adjoining cuttings, but work has not started yet. Partial landfill has begun as of spring 2018. An application has been made to Leeds city council for complete full landfill as of October 2018 Description The tunnel is located west of the site of Pudsey Greenside railway station and of the bridge leading Carlisle Road across the former line, and east of a bridge of Smalewell Quarry track, beneath th ...

Great Northern Railway (Great Britain)
The Great Northern Railway (GNR) was a British railway company incorporated in 1846 with the object of building a line from London to York. It quickly saw that seizing control of territory was key to development, and it acquired, or took leases of, many local railways, whether actually built or not. In so doing, it overextended itself financially. Nevertheless, it succeeded in reaching into the coalfields of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire, as well as establishing dominance in Lincolnshire and north London. Bringing coal south to London was dominant, but general agricultural business, and short- and long-distance passenger traffic, were important activities too. Its fast passenger express trains captured the public imagination, and its Chief Mechanical Engineer Nigel Gresley became a celebrity. Anglo-Scottish travel on the East Coast Main Line became commercially important; the GNR controlled the line from London to Doncaster and allied itself with the North Ea ...
