context_page_description: Menston railway station is a railway station in Menston, in the City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. On the Wharfedale Line between Ilkley and Leeds/Bradford Forster Square, it is served by Class 331 and 333 electric trains run by Northern Trains, who also manage the station.
  It was opened in August 1865 by the Midland Railway on their line from Apperley Junction to Burley-in-Wharfedale, from where trains could travel to either Ilkley or Otley via the Otley and Ilkley Joint Railway. The route to Otley was closed in 1965, but the Ilkley line avoided a similar fate, being finally reprieved in 1972. Electric services at the station commenced in 1994.
  Between 1883 and 1951, High Royds Hospital, which stood to the west of the line, was served by a half mile long private siding from just south of Menston station.
  Menston station was redeveloped in 2000 as part of the general improvements to the Wharfedale Line by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive. The disused station building was brought back into use and a new ticket office was opened. The station now includes ticket machines where passengers can buys tickets and view services from Menston.
