Services
Most of the services are commuter services operated by Northern Rail, as part of the MetroTrain network. During Monday to Saturday daytimes, these operate every 30 minutes on each of the following routes:
- Leeds-Bradford Forster Square;
- Leeds-Skipton;
- Bradford Forster Square-Skipton;
- Bradford Forster Square-Ilkley.
In Evenings a half hourly service is maintained between Leeds and Skipton. Ilkley and Skipton to Bradford are hourly. There is no direct service between Leeds and Bradford but a shuttle from Shipley to Bradford connects with Leeds departures. On Sundays, Ilkley/Skipton - Bradford is every 2 hours with Skipton and Bradford to Leeds every hour. These services are mostly operated by Northern Rail Class 333 electric multiple units, although Class 321 and Class 322 sets are used on some weekday workings.
There are also a number of trains each day from Leeds to Carlisle (seven on weekdays and three on Sundays) and Morecambe (four on weekdays, four on Sundays; both routes operated by Northern Rail), and from Bradford Forster Square to London King's Cross (via Leeds), operated by East Coast.
The station is covered by a Public Address System (PA), voiced by Phil Sayer.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
—Anonymous.
