The branch came off the Harrogate-Northallerton (the "Leeds Northern Railway") at Ripley Junction and was built by the North-Eastern Railway (NER). It opened in 1862, closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1964. The Pateley Bridge-Lofthouse-Angram/Scarhouse reservoir line was a completely separate undertaking as the "Nidd Valley Light Railway" by Bradford Corporation to assist with the construction of those reservoirs. Remarkably the Corporation ran a public service from Pateley Bridge to Lofthouse from 1907 until the end of 1929. There were no through passenger trains from the NER onto the Light Railway, only goods were carried over the link between the two. Passenger trains travelled beyond Lofthouse to the reservoir sites but only for the dam construction workers and their families. |
