Wakefield Westgate railway station
Wakefield Westgate is one of two railway stations that serve Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, England. It lies 10 miles (16 km) south of Leeds to the west of the city centre, on the Wakefield Line and Leeds branch of the East Coast Main Line.
The first Westgate station opened in 1856 a few years after the town's first station, Wakefield Kirkgate. In 1867, the station was rebuilt on the opposite side of Westgate, on the main line between Leeds and Doncaster. British Rail modernised the station in 1967, when large parts of the 19th-century station were demolished and replaced with austere but functional facilities. By the 21st century, there was pressure to modernise the station and, between 2009 and 2013, the station was rebuilt and modernised as a result of regeneration efforts focused upon the wider area. On 3 February 2014, the rebuilt station was officially opened.
