From the Wikipedia article
Oakworth railway station serves the village of Oakworth, near Keighley, in the City of Bradford metropolitan district of West Yorkshire, England. It operated as a station on the national network between 1867 and 1962; it was reopened in 1968, as a heritage station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

Background
History
The station was built by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) and opened for passengers, with the rest of the line, on 15 April 1867 and for goods traffic on 1 July that year. The Midland Railway leased the line and absorbed the KWVR with effect from 1 July 1881. The London Midland and Scottish Railway absorbed the Midland Railway in January 1923 and took over operation of the line. British Railways assumed ownership of Great Britain's railway network on 1 January 1948. The line was closed to passengers on 1 January 1962 and to goods traffic on 18 June 1962.
Visiting
The station is famous for being the main location used in the film The Railway Children. The station can still be seen much as was in the period 1905-1910; it is still lit by gas lights, both inside the buildings and on the platform. Some scenes for the first and second episodes of the 2020s version of the TV series All Creatures Great and Small were filmed at the station.
