Pannal Railway Station

Pannal railway station serves the village of Pannal, including Burn Bridge, in North Yorkshire, England. It is located on the Harrogate Line and operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services.

It is a very busy station considering the size of the village it serves. This is due to the large amount of commuters using the station for journeying into Leeds every weekday. The station is used as an unofficial park and ride site by many people to avoid the congestion in Leeds caused by the failed Supertram system . Leeds Supertram would have relieved the problem with a P&R site at Bodington, North Leeds, had it not been axed by Alistair Darling in 2005.

Services

During Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is generally a half-hourly service from Pannal southbound to Leeds and a half-hourly service northbound to Knaresborough with one train per hour onwards to York.

Evenings and Sundays there is an hourly service in each direction.
