The two routes divide about a mile south of the station at ''Dryclough Junction''. To the east, the line also divided with the current line passing into Beacon Hill tunnel and a disused line via Halifax North Bridge to Ovenden, then going on to a junction at Holmfield with the Halifax High level line which had stations in Pellon and at St Paul's, Queens Road; and via to Bradford and Keighley, for destinations in the North-West. == Description == The station has a car park, bicycle parking and a pick up point, like many other stations. There is also a staffed ticket booth with option of paying for a ticket using a ticket machine. A lift to the platform is available for wheelchair users, but there are currently no lower counters for easier access to buy tickets.〔(Station facilities at Halifax )〕 Entry to the station is via a cobbled road bridge from opposite the bottom of Horton Street. A campaign, run by the local newspaper the ''Halifax Evening Courier'' was started to get the station refurbished. The paper said that it wanted a station fit "for the 21st century" and that its current state was "disgraceful". Due to the amount of support generated, Network Rail and Northern Rail agreed to do so. Work begun in May 2009 on a £2.5 million refurbishment scheme that has seen the station footbridge and canopies repaired, new glazing and lighting installed and repainting of the structures. The second phase of the refurbishment, covering the platform and the concourse, was completed in November 2010.〔(Halifax Rail Station refurbishment (Second phase of work) )〕 In October 2014 plans were submitted to bring an old platform back into use to create three platforms together with signalling improvements. 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「Halifax railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
