Steeton and Silsden is another station in West Yorkshire that was closed under Beeching but later reopened. The station's two platforms are staggered as can be seen from this picture of platform 1 from the end of platform 2:

Platform 2 juts under the road bridge, which is the only way of crossing the line (the earlier station had a level crossing):

Although most of the station is now modern, the old station building remains as a private residence at the eastern end of platform 2:
