White Rose railway station is planned 2,460 feet (750 m) south of Cottingley station, to open in 2024 and following a review, West Yorkshire Combined Authority has decided that Cottingley station will subsequently close on the grounds of its inaccessibility and that White Rose station will be better connected to businesses and places of education.
