Flushdyke railway station
Flushdyke was a Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds Railway station on the Adwalton Junction to Wakefield line. It was situated on Wakefield Road in Flushdyke, West Yorkshire. The road was crossed on a bridge.[1] The station opened on 7 April 1867 and closed on 3 May 1941.[2] Steps from the road led to two side platforms, each with a shelter. A spur to Low Laithes Colliery branched off east of the bridge across Wakefield Road. It had already been closed and lifted by 1931.[3] Station and bridge have been demolished after closure, only parts of the embankment remain.[1]
