Holbeck railway station

Holbeck railway station

Holbeck Station was a railway station. It served the district of Holbeck, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Overview

Holbeck Station was unusual in that it had platforms on two different levels, the Holbeck High Level (HL) and the Holbeck Low Level (LL).

The low level platforms were closed to the public in 1958 and the high level platforms succumbed to closure shortly afterwards in 1962. The route where trains ran through Holbeck High Level station to Leeds Central station had latterly closed in 1967 with the tracks subsequently been lifted and the bridge carrying the high level track over the low level had been removed.

Trains running along the Airedale, Wharfedale and Harrogate Lines still pass over the site of Holbeck Low Level station on their way in and out of Leeds station although there is no clear indication of the former station that existed on the site.
