Ingrow (West)
(1867 - 1962 1968)
Ingrow (West) railway station is a single-platform station serving the suburb of Ingrow in Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. It is served by the preserved Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR)
The station opened in April 1867, along with the rest of the KWVR line
On its opening, the K&WVR had six out-and-back services between Keighley and Oxenhope, which had risen to eight workings per day in the 1880s. By 1906, the branch and Ingrow were being served by sixteen services daily, which in 1946, two years before Nationalistation, had been reduced to twelve
Ingrow (West) station was closed in January 1962 to passengers and in June 1962 to goods traffic
After the station's closure, the existing station building was vandalised and later demolished, so, when re-opened in 1968 as part of the heritage line, it was used as an unstaffed request stop. The station building at Foulridge on the Skipton to Colne line was demolished and rebuilt at Ingrow, opening in 1989
Currently, the station is home to the Vintage Carriages Trust's Museum of Rail Travel Bahama Locomotive Society Museum and there is a railway shop
