Survey work is underway for a new rail station in Elland, West Yorkshire, with construction expected to begin in late 2026. The project is a joint venture between the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Calderdale Council.
Survey work is underway to shape the detailed designs for a £25 million addition to West Yorkshire 's rail network , with completion expected by late 2026. Keltbray Infrastructure Services Limited, the contractors, aim to wrap up the final stage of development work on Elland Rail Station by next summer.
Following this, a full business case will be presented to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority for the new station, propelling the long-anticipated project towards final approval and eventually construction, according to the authority. The project is a joint venture between the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Calderdale Council. The latter is nearing the completion of designs for ambitious access routes to the station, which will feature two new pedestrian and cycling bridges. Recently, the council greenlit a planning application for the access route infrastructure, and tenders for the final design stages of the access package were due by mid-November. Currently, the council is evaluating the bids and is in the process of selecting a contractor for this task. The new station, which will be added to the Calder Valley line, aims to enhance the town's transport links with the wider region and beyond, including Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford and Manchester
