Laisterdyke once boasted the Great Northern's railway station with four platforms and a complicated double-triangular junction with lines radiating to Bradford, Shipley, Leeds (by two routes), Wakefield, Dewsbury and Halifax. The station closed in 1966, most of the lines around the same time, and only the through route from Bradford to Leeds now remains, with no station. Just beyond these gates there was once a bridge crossing one of the curves of the southern triangle. The cutting has been filled in and the bridge removed.
