New Pudsey railway station is in Farsley, West Yorkshire, England, on the Caldervale Line from Leeds City to Bradford Interchange, Halifax, Huddersfield, Manchester Victoria, and Blackpool North. Lying west of Leeds, it serves as a commuter station for the western edge of the Leeds conurbation. This station opened by British Rail on 6 March 1967 and is located in Farsley — north-west of Pudsey town centre – it was opened as a 'new' station for Pudsey; there is no place called New Pudsey. The platforms are long enough to accommodate Intercity trains, and there is large car park, because it was originally served by occasional through trains from Bradford Interchange to London Kings Cross. After electrification of the East Coast Main Line, through services were routed via Shipley to Bradford Forster Square. The station is situated just under a mile west of the location of what was Stanningley (formerly ''Stanningley for Farsley''),〔''Stanningley'' GNR station, on the Leeds-Bradford line, opened in 1854; was renamed ''Stanningley for Farsley'' and then named ''Stanningley'' again in 1961.〕 which closed on 30 December 1967, having supposedly been replaced by New Pudsey, although the two catchment areas were largely different. The station is staffed and the ticket office is open from 05:55 to 19:00 on Mondays to Saturdays. ==History== Pudsey was originally served by a short branch line running from Stanningley to Pudsey Greenside opened in 1878 by the Great Northern Railway. In 1893 the line was extended through a tunnel to Laisterdyke, the original curve from Stanningley closed, and another (90°) curve to Bramley opened forming the ''Pudsey Loop''. There were two stations on the loop, Pudsey Lowtown and Pudsey Greenside, conveniently located at either end of the town centre (and both closed on 15 June 1964 as a result of the Beeching Axe). 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「New Pudsey railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
