Brighouse Travel
Train Station
Brighouse has its own unstaffed train station. It is a small station with links to Huddersfield, Halifax and Leeds. From there you can access major train stations across the UK.
A large, free car park (65 places) is available across the road from the station as seen in the map.
Bus Station
Update (January 2009): The new £2.38m bus station redevelopment has now started and should be completed early 2009. The new station will have;
- 24 hour CCTV
- Electronic notice boards proving real time information
- More comfortable
- Enclosed concourse
More than a million journeys are made to and from Brighouse bus station each year. The new bus shelter will hopefully be more comfortable and be subject to less vandalism.
The existing shelters will be demolished and replaced by a modern, six-stand, Drive-In-Reverse-Out (DIRO) facility with an enclosed concourse, electronic information, CCTV monitoring and new, high-quality flooring and seating. A new car park will be provided beside the bus station.
The station is due for redevelopment later this year. More

The nearest coach station is 12 miles away in Leeds.
Leeds Bradford Airport is the closest and is just 12miles away. The airlines fly to most European destinations. Manchester is just 30miles away and has flights all around the world. More than a million journeys are made to and from Brighouse bus station each year and Metro has identified that the old shelter waiting environment is in need of an upgrade.

At a public consultation event, held at the Brighouse Forum Offices, Metro received overwhelming support from the people of Brighouse for its plans.
Almost every one of the 200 plus local people who visited Metro’s four-day consultation in the Brighouse Forum Offices, were in favor of the proposals on display. People raised a number of issues that will be considered at the project’s detailed design stage.
Current Status
(2009) The project started in November 2008 and should be completed early this year.
(2005) A project programme is being developed and it is anticipated that the necessary planning application will be submitted by the end of 2004. It is anticipated that work will start on site during 2005 subject to resolution of any land ownership and planning issues. At the appropriate stage, Metro will produce a detailed project plan for the work and provide local people with information about temporary arrangements for access to local bus services during construction.
