Background

West Yorkshire Combined Authority is proposing accessibility improvements at Guiseley Station. The project plans to deliver additional fully step-free access options between platforms, making it easier for everyone to access. The plans include installing a new footbridge with lifts.

Making stations more accessible is part of our vision for the Weaver Network to help more people travel easily and confidently across the region.

Proposals

These proposals will make it safer, simpler and more convenient for all passengers to move between platforms, especially people with disabilities, older people, families with prams and anyone carrying luggage.

As we continue to roll out the Weaver Network – West Yorkshire’s new integrated transport network – we aim to make everyday travel more accessible for more people. By making the station more accessible, we aim to encourage more people to choose to travel by rail, supporting both climate goals and inclusive growth in West Yorkshire.

Key features:

  • A new pedestrian footbridge linking platforms one and two
  • Two new lifts providing step-free access

    Thank you for your message and for raising this point – it’s very helpful feedback.

    You’re right to highlight that there isn’t a bus service that stops directly at Guiseley station. The nearest bus stops are approximately a five-minute walk from the station, which we appreciate may not be suitable for everyone.

    We will review the wording in our communications to make this clearer and avoid any confusion. To clarify, the scope of this project does not include a review of bus services or wider connectivity to and from the station, including bus routes serving the area.

    For those who may find it difficult to access the station, we’d also like to highlight that we are holding a drop-in session at Guiseley library. This is intended to provide an accessible alternative location where people can come along, find out more, and share their views. We will ensure the details of this session are clearly communicated.

    Thank you again for your feedback.
