This was where the GREAT NORTHERN line
parted company with the MIDLAND Worth Valley
line to approach its own station of Ingrow East
It was quite a slog for the northern men as the pull
up out of the goods yard was even steeper than the
pull up from Keighley station which the passenger
trains took. Joint running powers allowed this from
the shared platforms at Keighley. The goods yard
was of course separate and trains parted company
with the joint midland line just before Park Wood
Tunnel to run down and under the midland line just
after the Globe pub on Park Rd. The remains of the
cutting can still be seen there.
