The Queensbury line was a great piece of civil engineering. It should eventually be part of the West Yorkshire rapid transit system.

A bit too late now for that, I think!

HI i like your content! i am from oldham originally and now in halifax! both the oldham - greenfield and halifax - queensbury routes should have never been closed and kept soley as express by pass routes to connect the major towns and just closed the small stations as it would assist the congested network which we have now.

[@Historyofthenorth]

Thankyou, means alot, too many routes gone that would serve well today
