Walsden railway station serves the village of Walsden in West Yorkshire, England, on the edge of the Pennines.

It is served by the Caldervale Line operated by Northern Rail. The station is 51 km (32 miles) west of Leeds and 27 km (17¼ miles) north east of Manchester Victoria. Walsden is the last station before the boundary with Greater Manchester. The station was opened by Metro (West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive) on September 10th 1990.

[edit] Services

There is an hourly service to Manchester Victoria southbound and to Leeds via Halifax northbound with extra trains during peak times in each direction.

[edit] Future plans from December 2008

Northern Rail have proposed changes to the Caldervale line services from December 2008. Three trains per hour will run between Leeds and Manchester Victoria - one will be the current stopping service, one will go via Dewsbury and Brighouse, and include stops at Moston, Mills Hill and Castleton, and one will be a limited stop service - between Bradford and Manchester the service will only call at Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Rochdale.
