Cononley railway station serves the village of Cononley in North Yorkshire, England. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.
It was originally opened in late 1847, at a cost of £900, by the Leeds and Bradford Extension Railway. It was closed on 22 March 1965, though its platforms remained intact and the main buildings survived until the mid-1970s.
It was reopened by British Rail in 1988 at a cost of £34,000, which was borne by the county, district and local parish councils, and the Rural Development Commission.
The station has two platforms and is situated right beside Cononley's main street. Step-free access is available to both platforms, via the level crossing at the Skipton end of the station. It is unstaffed and has no ticket machine, so passengers intending to travel must buy their tickets in advance or on the train. An automated P.A system and digital information screens provide train running information to passengers.
Services
During Monday to Saturday daytime, there is a half-hourly service from Skipton to both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square and four trains an hour towards Skipton. In the evenings there is a half-hourly service to Leeds, an hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and three trains per hour to Skipton.
On Sundays there is an hourly service to Leeds and a two-hourly service to Bradford with one or two trains per hour to Skipton.
These services are normally provided by Class 333 or Class 322 EMUs.
Services towards Morecambe and Carlisle normally pass through without stopping, though the first weekday morning service to Carlisle and the last evening train from Ribblehead to Leeds both serve the station. One early morning service to Lancaster calls on a Saturday and one to both Morecambe & Carlisle stops here on Sunday mornings.
