Baildon railway station serves the village of Baildon near Shipley in West Yorkshire, England. The station re-opened on 5 January 1973, having been closed for exactly 20 years, and is 6km (4m) north of Bradford Forster Square on the Wharfedale Line. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail.

The line has been reduced to single track, so there is only one platform, and the station building has been sold. The second platform is disused and covered in weeds.

ervices

During Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half hourly service to Bradford Forster Square and Ilkley. During Monday to Saturday evenings it is hourly in each direction, and on Sundays it is two-hourly.
