It was built by the Leeds and Bradford Railway in 1847, but it was closed the next year.[1] It was located near the west entrance of the Thackley Tunnel. This station was very much closer to Thackley than to Idle.
Later, in 1875 another Idle station was built, on the Great Northern Railway's Shipley Windhill Line.
