The first new railway station to be built in West Yorkshire in 10 years has opened. At Apperley Bridge, between Leeds and Bradford, around 50 people gathered on the platform for the first train to Bradford from the new station. The original station closed 50 years ago as part of the Beeching cuts. Its replacement has cost about £8m. Two trains between Leeds and Bradford Forster Square or Skipton will run hourly Monday to Saturday. [From John Pease]
