Trains to Skipton - Station Details and further Information on Skipton Train Services

Skipton train station serves the town of Skipton in North Yorkshire, England on the Airedale Line. It is operated by Northern Rail and is situated 27 miles north-west of Leeds.

The station has four platforms and links Skipton to Leeds, Bradford, Carlisle and Morecambe. It is staffed on a part-time basis and a ticket office is available at most times. Skipton comes under the Dales Railcard. There are four seated waiting rooms available and luggage trolleys, along with a small café, toilets, a post box and a pay-phone. There is a taxi rank situated immediately outside the station, bus links nearby and the car park has spaces for 100 vehicles. The station is located on Broughton Road.

On Monday to Saturday in the daytime, there is a half-hourly service from Skipton to Leeds and Bradford Forster Square respectively. In the evening there is a half-hourly service to Leeds and hourly to Bradford. On Sundays, the service is hourly to Leeds and two-hourly to Bradford.

The station is the limit of the Leeds North West electrification, where the electric commuter services from Leeds terminate.

Trains using the Settle-Carlisle Line stop at Skipton towards Carlisle from Leeds. Currently there are six daily departures for Carlisle on weekdays, seven on Saturdays and three on Sundays. There are also five daily departures for Lancaster & Morecambe on weekdays (one of which runs through to Heysham Port), with two on Sundays (rising to four during the summer).

There is a single morning intercity train from Skipton and Keighley to London Kings Cross, with an early evening return, operated by National Express East Coast using InterCity 125 High Speed Trains. As is the case with the Bradford intercity service, this is an extension to the Leeds–London service. Though the line to Skipton is electrified throughout, the National Express East Coast service to/from the town is operated using a diesel HST because the electrical infrastructure on the Leeds to Skipton line is insufficient to support National Express East Coast's trains. The test run of a Class 91 on the line caused a voltage drop large enough to halt every other electric train on the line.
