Previous bus station

It was served originally by West Yorkshire Automobile before 1987 and deregulation. After deregulation, it was served by Keighley & District and First Calderline. Between 2001 and 2002 buses waited in the surrounding streets whilst the current bus station was being constructed. In 1995 many unnecessary services were removed; these include through services from Bradford to Haworth.
