Trains are set to resume on a West Yorkshire rail line after a four month closure following a landslip.

Network Rail has been working hard to reopen the line through Baildon, which was closed after a landslip on the 9th of February.

Trains will resume between Bradford Forster Square and Ilkley on the 30th June, with repair monitoring continuing to make sure that there are no issues or risk to train services.

“I know this has been a difficult time for the community and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all impacted local residents for their support and cooperation throughout our work.

“I also want to say thank you to passengers who have faced disruption to rail services for their patience and understanding of the situation.”

Jason Hamilton, Network Rail’s route director for its North & East route
