Garforth railway station serves the town of Garforth, near Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the York and Selby Lines and North TransPennine routes. Garforth is east of Leeds. The station was originally opened by the Leeds and Selby Railway in 1834. The road bridge crosses the line at an oblique angle; this was considered something of a marvel at the time of construction. Garforth station also connected with the privately owned Aberford Railway (known locally as the 'fly line' or simply 'the lines') which closed in 1924, and is now a public path commonly used for horses, dog walkers and travelling to and from Garforth community College part way upon it. East of the station was the junction to the branch line to Castleford which closed in 1969. Garforth also has another railway station, East Garforth, situated approximately east of the main station which was opened in 1987. Though East Garforth is fully accessible to wheelchair users, the main Garforth station is not; wheelchair users can only access platform 2 which serves trains towards Leeds. ==Services== Northern Rail operates services to Leeds with most services going beyond towards Bradford Interchange as well as services to York and Selby to the east. First TransPennine Express trains also stop at Garforth hourly towards Leeds, Huddersfield and Manchester Airport (Liverpool Lime Street on Sundays) westbound and York and Middlesbrough (Scarborough on Sundays) eastbound. High Speed CrossCountry trains travelling to and from Scotland pass through without stopping. 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「Garforth railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
