Question

Can anyone tell me the gnr line which had Eccleshill, Idle and Shipley etc?

Answer 1

During the 1860s, two small railway companies were formed to promote suburban railways in Bradford, the Bradford, Eccleshill and Idle Railway and the Idle and Shipley Railway. Their schemes - and the companies themselves - were taken up by the Great Northern Railway, which built a line looping through the villages to the north-east of Bradford: from Laisterdyke, through Eccleshill, Idle and Thackley to Shipley.

That is assuming the Wikipedia entry is anything like correct, but it all links in and appears plausible.

If you have any details regarding these stations, please do let the owner of
