 Caldervale Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caldervale Line is a railway route in Northern England between the cities of Leeds and Manchester as well as the seaside resort of Blackpool.
The "Caldervale Line" name was given to the route by the West Yorkshire Metro transport authority, as the route is primarially within the West Yorkshire area.
This line, along with the Huddersfield Line and York and Selby Lines is normally merged in national timetables to create a coast to coast service.

The line was built in stages between the 1830s and the 1870s, with the first stages being the Grand Junction Railway (Warrington - Birmingham) and the London and Birmingham Railway, both completed in the 1830s.
These lines together with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the North Union Railway and the Manchester and Birmingham Railway amalgamated in 1846 to form the London and North Western Railway (LNWR).
No-one had attempted to implement moving block on a line as complex as the WCML anywhere in the world, and it soon became apparent to engineers that the technology was not mature enough to be used on the line.

The Wharfedale line contains some of the wealthiest residential areas in West Yorkshire (how do you think they wangled electrification and superior trains to us poor Calder Valley folk!) and a direct connection to the airport form Menston / Guiseley would mean residents would not be inconvenienced by having to change trains at Leeds.
It might be sensible to open a station there if the line were to be reinstated through to Skipton, but I can't see an economic case for extension to Addingham alone, bearing in mind all the civil engineering work that would be needed.
Later Green Line routes were numbered 7x7 to keep the sequence going rather than after the aircraft; 757 London - Luton, 767 London - Heathrow & 777 London - Gatwick all predate the aircraft of the same number.

There is a small railway station in Farsley known as New Pudsey.
It is on the Caldervale Line between Leeds and Bradford Interchange and was built to replace Pudsey's two original stations - Pudsey Lowtown and Pudsey Greenside - which were both destroyed in the late 1960's by the Beeching Axe along with the Stanningley-Laisterdyke-Bradford GNR loop serving them.
However, New Pudsey's situation over a mile away from the town centre makes it impractical for commuters.

Oh, and another amusing mistake I’ve found on Yahoo Maps- it shows the two railway lines into Bradford as being joined up.
Though the Caldervale line (from the south) and Airedale and Wharfedale lines (from the North) are on the same alignment, they both terminate at different stations either side of the city centre and are at significantly different heights above sea level.
Though many would like them to meet up in the middle, they never have done and I’m sure they never will, what with Bradford not being a particularly important railway destination and the amount of engineering involved.
