Steeton & Silsden Station Car Park
West Yorkshire Combined Authority and train operator Northern are building a new car park at Steeton & Silsden Station, extending the existing parking provision.
The scheme will provide:
- A free, multi-story (3 levels) car park for rail users.
- An additional 102 car parking spaces at Steeton & Silsden car park, taking the total available spaces to 245 which includes 9 Blue Badge bays.
- CCTV and low energy lighting.
- A fully accessible lift.
- Enhanced drainage infrastructure.
- Underground ducting to support future electric vehicle charging points, should this be introduced in the future.
The new, multi-story car park is one of 14 projects within Phase 1 of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s £31.5 million Rail Park and Ride Programme, which has been designed to increase station parking and provide people with increased access to train services. In turn, this will help reduce congestion, improve local air quality and enhance people’s access to jobs, training and apprenticeship opportunities, as well as leisure activities. More information on the Rail Park and Ride Programme.
Alternative arrangements
Building the new car park will mean closing the existing main car park for the whole construction period. A portion of the overflow car park will remain open to station visitors, with approximately 40 spaces available.
As there will be limited parking availability throughout the construction period, station users are being advised to consider alternative arrangements and, where possible, to walk or cycle to the station. View a map showing the area within a 20 min walk of the station - with walking, cycling, and bus routes.
Alternative parking is available at Keighley station and Crossflatts station, including some accessible parking spaces:

Project Update - March 2023
Due to the steel erection works on site being in close proximity to the track, these works can only take place overnight during weekends.
This does unfortunately extend the date of completion to Autumn 2023.
Next steps
Construction works commenced on Monday 25th April, and the latest programme shows completion on site during Autumn 2023. This page will be open for Questions and Answers until the new car park opens.
