Morley Top railway station served the town of Morley, West Yorkshire, England, from 1857 to 1969 on the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway.
History
The station opened as Morley on 10 October 1857 by the Leeds, Bradford and Halifax Junction Railway. Its name was changed to Morley Top on 2 March 1951 to avoid confusion with another station of the same name. The station closed to passengers on 2 January 1961[1] and closed to goods in May 1969.[2] The station master's house still survives.[3]
