The City Road Goods branch was a goods only branch serving the Lister Hills area of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England^[1].

History

Proposed as part of the Bradford and Thornton Railways Act (1865), later withdrawn but then incorporated (24 July 1871) and amalgamated with the Great Northern Railway (18 July 1872). The line to City Road from St Dunstans opened on 4 December 1876 and consisted of a branch from just east of Horton Park at Horton Junction travelling north for 1.25 miles (2.01 km). It closed when goods services were withdrawn from the stub of the St Dunstans to Thornton line on 26 August 1972.

The warehouses were converted into offices of a haulage company however they were destroyed in a fire in the 1980s.
