Can we find what remains of the former Low Moor Station. With a vast network of abandoned lines and a large sidings, there must be signs of the old station remaining.

Great video keep up with the good work Darren 😊
Hay Darren.
War interessant dir zuzuhören.
Gutes Video 😃
Dankeschön 😊👍🏻
Great video ! ❤
No stone or brick unturned for that matter. Yep another beauty Darren 👍👏👏👏👏
A map with all the old railway lines / sidings, and shed etc would be good.
The munitions factory blown up area is just a large lawn-like green area now, not seen in the vid; and there's a nice little old pub there..
Great stuff Darren. Missed your railway vlogs. In the 70s and 80s I remember passing through the remains of Low Moor with acres of weed infested sidings and industrial dereliction as you left Bowling Tunnel. Great Northern also had a significant presence at Low Moor with a line from Dudley Hill. Keep them coming.
Fascination video, Darren 👍
Another cracking investigation keep them coming my good man
I used to play here as a child 40 + years ago. There were all sorts of bits of old railway track and remains of outbuildings. There was also an old air raid shelter nearby (where it’s all grassed over now)which I wasn’t allowed to play in but the bigger kids used to brag about exploring in there.
Such a pity that it’s all gone, looking at it with today’s knowledge it was so short sighted to get rid of public transport infrastructure that we once had.
Another pity that Transperience didn’t succeed as a long term museum, loved it when we visited with our children. I think they had great plans for the future to include the lines into Heckmondwike.
Before the new station was built there was a building with an ‘Auditorium’ sign on it. Was this part of Transperience? I never saw Transperience; I did plan to visit it some day but it closed almost as soon as it opened, about two years I think.
Have you seen the. books Bradford Railways in Colour? There are four volumes, covering the lines out of Exchange and Forster Square, in steam days and after steam; I have all four, and also one in a similar format covering the Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham lines, including the old electric units.
Such a shame when they destroy the past. Went on the k&wv railway last weekend and it was fab! Such a treat going on the oldies 😊
Look at the raised bridge from the trackside, it look like it's just 10-20 cm higher so it's probably changed for another reason. For so few centimetres they could just as easily lower the tracks and trackbed instead.
Great video Darren, very interesting, lovely photographs and fades 👍👌
thanks for sharing the old onto the new, great footage!
I was trying to follow this on a reprinted 1905 map and wondering why it made no sense until you made the comment about the 1916 explosion which also included one of the gasometers and continued into the following day. It looks like the turntable was situated by the far end of Railway Terrace. According to the map, the engine shed came right up to the edge of the existing houses above the remains of the stations' retaining wall with a further goods shed where the Trackside and Tramways (who names these things?) estate now stands.
Loved this and the fade ins, the station was mega another great station ruined 😔 thanks Darren 😎
Interesting video. I’m not surprised you didn’t find anything of the old Low Moor station. The whole area has been cleared pretty well. I had a look in a few places a couple of years ago and didn’t find anything to write home about.
One thing I’m surprised you didn’t make mention of was the huge fire at the nearby Allied Colloids in the summer of 1992.
I'd love to see a video on the old Dudley Hill to Low Moor branch line, Darren. I grew up around there in the 70's and spent many hours on the old "banking" at the bottom of Bierley Estate.
Great video, Darren, as always. Not just sidings to the north of the station, but also the GNR curve around to Tong to join the line to Drighlington and Morley Top.
I, myself, have a fond memory of catching a train from Mirfield to Bradford Exchange via Low Moor. OK, it was a DMU, but I was able to sit at the front and get a great view of the line.
Used to go spotting there, and it was an easy shed to get round .
The turntable was still in existence until about 20 years ago when the council in their infinite wisdom decided to totally dig it out as it was filled in with red bricks from various building (perhaps the station and parts of the engine shed?) when it was all turned into a wildlife walk (even though there was plenty of wildlife enjoying it as it once was) The engine shed ash pits were all still there around the same time and filled in with rubble. Again, dug out and filled. I wish I took photo's when I had the chance. I don't know if you saw the old entrance from the bridge which lead down to the platform. I do wonder if the subway is still there or it was dug out?
Interesting little documentary on this little railway station Darren. Sorry to say the new station is hideous in every way these modern stations are nothing compared to the architecture of the older ones. Interestingly there was another railway station disaster involving explosives on 2nd June 1944 involving an ammunition train, a wagon catching fire laden with explosives that destroyed Soham station in Cambridgeshire.
My Grandad was a Passed Fireman based at Low Moor shed. They lived on Taylor Road (knocked down to bulid Odsal Top Rounderbout) and we would often walk over the golf links then by the railway to Railway Terrace then back up Cleckheagon Road.
But that's how things have been done in the UK even when I was growing up there. It happens in new Zealand as well..
