Platform 4 is the usual departure platform for the KWVR branch. It retains many of the original features. For example, a superb glass canopy and the original waiting room, although the original toilets succumbed recently to modern hygiene standards. Two rooms under the ramp are still in use, now housing the Station Master’s office and the staff mess room. The booking office on platform 4 is a newly constructed addition while the ticket collector’s hut was originally a telephone box at Wakefield Kirkgate. Next door to the booking office is the gift shop and buffet.

Look to platform 3 you will see that it is quite bare in comparison to platform 4. Between the 1950s & 1990s with limited financial resources, British Railways was forced to make serious cutbacks, hence removing the canopies and even closure of the Worth Valley branch. The KWVR has collected a large quantity of suitable ironwork, hoping that the platform 3 canopies will be restored one day.

There is a turntable at the end of platform 3 which was acquired in 1990 from Garsdale where it used to turn engines on the Settle to Carlisle line. The signal box at the end of Platform 3 might look as though it has always been there but it was dismantled and moved to the Railway from Shipley, Bingley Junction. When it is brought into use it will control all movements on the KWVR side of the station. The original Keighley West signal box was further round the curve and gradient leading away from the station.
