[edit] History
The Leeds and Bradford Railway opened the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway from Shipley to Keighley on 16 March 1847.[1] Bingley station opened on the first day, and remained the only intermediate station until Saltaire was built in 1856.
The original station was of wood, but the Midland Railway (who had absorbed the L&BR in 1851) opened the current station on 24 July 1892.[2] This was designed by Charles Trubshaw[3], and is a little to the east of the original site.
