Cornholme railway station served the village of Cornholme in West Yorkshire, England on the Copy Pit line. The station was opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in July 1878[1] (nearly thirty years after the line itself) and closed by the LMS on 26 September 1938.[2] The line remains in use for passenger trains between York/Leeds and Blackpool, which run non-stop between Hebden Bridge and Burnley.
With the re-opening of the Todmorden Curve, there is now a campaign to open a station again at Cornholme. The Campaign group GRAG (Cornholme Rail Action Group) have not stated where the new station would be located.[3]
