The first new railway station to be built in West Yorkshire in 10 years is to open to passengers next month. Apperley Bridge, between Leeds and Bradford, will start running on Sunday 13 December, subject to final approval by the Office of Rail and Road. The original station was shut down 50 years ago and its replacement has cost about £8m to complete. Two trains between Leeds and Bradford Forster Square or Skipton will run per hour Monday to Saturday.
