Brighouse railway station serves the town of Brighouse in West Yorkshire, England. The station lies on the Caldervale Line and the Huddersfield Line running west from Leeds. The station reopened in 2000 and is managed by Northern Rail but is also served by Grand Central. == History == Brighouse railway station was first opened on 5 October 1840, as a main line station operated by the Manchester and Leeds Railway. The station was initially known as Brighouse for Bradford, as no stations had yet been built in Bradford itself. Similarly, Elland station served Halifax, and Huddersfield was served by the station at Cooper Bridge. A lithograph was produced by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait showing the station in 1845.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Science and Society Picture Library - Brighouse Station )〕 In 1847 Brighouse station came under the operation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway as the M&L was incorporated into this company. The station remained under L&Y operation until it itself was incorporated into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, throughout which period the station's importance gradually declined as other lines connecting Manchester and Leeds were built via Halifax and Huddersfield bypassing Brighouse. Brighouse station passed into British Railways ownership upon nationalisation in 1949, and was operated as part of the North Eastern Region. The decline in passenger numbers continued, and the station was eventually closed by British Rail on 5 January 1970, remaining closed for thirty years although the line remained open throughout this time as a freight-only line but it was also used as a diversionary route for passenger trains when other lines were closed. Brighouse's station re-opened on Sunday 28 May 2000. Brighouse also serves the town of Elland some away. Plans for a station in Elland to open at the same time as Brighouse were cancelled due to lack of funds. Since 27 April 2008 bus service (MC4 ) has provided a connection with most Leeds via Dewsbury trains to/from Elland. This was replaced in early 2010 by a revised service (E8 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brighouse railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
