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. This bridge crossed four tracks of Cutlers Junction at the southern end of the northern triangle.
