Hebden Bridge station is a beautifully restored station dating originally from the last decade of the 19th Century. The 1997 restoration makes it a welcome gateway to the town, even on a wet day like this! The approach to the station from the car park, just north of the line:

Just inside the door is the ticket office:

The ticket office gives onto platform 2, for trains towards Leeds. Here looking west at the steps down to the subway and the (now disused) lift:

A subway connects the two sides of the station, but the access on platform 2 at the front of the station is only by steps, making the long ramp on the other side rather pointless:
