Situated between Morley and Cottingley, the White Rose Rail Station will be located on the TransPennine route to Manchester via Huddersfield.
The two-platform station will provide improved access to the adjacent White Rose office park, shopping centre and bus interchange.
Due to replace Cottingley station, the new £26.5 million station was scheduled to open in early 2024 but has been hit by construction delays - as exclusively revealed by the YEP in January.
