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:
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
