If you are going to use either of the two Garforth Railway Stations, make sure its this one, it has twice as many trains. Even if the Northern Rail ones are often cancelled as occurs too frequently, there are Transpennine Express services too. Randomly for a railway station, there is a lovely little family run cafe/Bistro on site as well as a very, very part time ticket office and a local taxi office. The cafe does lovely coffee, cakes and food during the day, either to have in, or served on the platform, via their serving hatch/window. At night it becomes a bistro serving yet more food on its evening menu as well as drinks.

  • Josh Cunliffe

Could do with some more obvious signs to which platform a service will be at. Got off a connecting train and almost missed the next because there wasn't much information about where the next train would be. Partially down to the fault of Train line, but still.

  • Rosie D

My friend and I were catching a train from Garforth towards Leeds and it was pouring so we were pleased to see that there is a nice covered in waiting room. We went in and there was a couple with a toddler and a baby. No sooner had we sat

  • Steve Cox

This was a perfect train station for us to use to get to York. We had no issue parking the car and the trip to York was only 25 minutes away. Would recomnend using this station as an alternative to driving to York.

  • Michelle Roberts

Plenty of trains available to loads of destinations. Ticket machine and lovely Italian food available. Only downside is no ramp to cross the track for pushchairs and wheelchair users

  • Views of the Truth

Got off at platform 1 to find no access for wheelchairs or pushchairs I was on my own and had no way of exiting with a pushchair. Left my child vulnerable. Not happy at all.

  • Sophie Ilango-Lyon

Parking space is very tricky to find despite the large car park. But other than that it’s a good station for getting to Leeds/York or further afield

  • Alan Mowbray

Great little railway station. Ticket office (very friendly). Superb cafe and takeaway with very chatty guy, made a real change from the normal.

  • Ashley

Good little station but the warm waiting area was locked and you really have to step back from the platform when a train passes at full speed!

  • Emma Blackburn

Needs updating. Cant get back to this station when I have my daughter in the pram as there is no disabled/pram access from the other platform.

  • Michael Millward

For east west and west east journeys I prefer this station to the big stations in York and Leeds. Perhaps I shouldn't tell people that LOL

  • CJ Lumb

Errm.. well, it's a train station.... I'm giving it 5 because I love the little Italian café which has become a restaurant. It's great.

  • Esther Rowan

NO facilities whatsoever..ticket office closed..no toilets..and the station house cafe (advertised as open till 10pm) Closed! Hell hole

  • Steve Gilbert

Love the bridge, waiting rooms in tip top condition and the guy that works at the help desk is one of the nicest people I have met.

  • Andrew Manning

It's a small train station. You can get on and off trains. There is a machine you can buy tickets from if it is working.

  • kiran lanka

Nice place. Remember the Transpennien Express doors never open due to gap between train and platform need a hard push.

  • Paul Blakey

Hard to find on first visit - sign after the entrance when driving! Great Italian cafe on platform. Plenty of parking.

  • Harriet Read

Has some facilities, but the opening hours are limited; not great when your train's delayed and it's cold at night

Quaint little station, provides convenient stop for small town. Just a pity ticket office is only part time
