station Zone 2 Kirkstall Forge Zone 3 Apperley Bridge to Crossflatts. Shipley is also served by the Leeds–Bradford line and the Wharfedale line Zone 4 Keighley Zone 5 Steeton & Silsden Zone 7 (from 17 May 2009) Cononley to Skipton The future Network Rail previously looked at ways of increasing capacity on the line. Because of the difficulty of lengthening platforms at Shipley, it will be hard to introduce longer trains (i.e. 5 or 6 carriages) as was proposed on the neighbouring Wharfedale line. It was therefore proposed to run more trains per hour between Leeds and Keighley, a new platform at Keighley would have helped accommodate this. New stations were opened at Apperley Bridge in December 2015 and Kirkstall Forge in June 2016. London North Eastern Railway currently operate a small number of daily services on the line, between Skipton/Bradford and London King's Cross. These are operated by British Rail Class 801. East Coast wanted to run more frequent services from December 2009 but to do so the line would need more capacity. A 2008 report by Modern Railways claimed that a solid hourly service would operate on the line as far as Long Preston, but would serve Carlisle and Lancaster alternately. It may also become a freight artery to improve capacity on the West Coast Main Line. Network Rail's own plans involved new signalling and other improvements for the sections of the line beyond Skipton. Carlisle services would be increased to a basic two-hour pattern with extra services to 'fill in the gaps' at peak times during the day to give a 1 train/h frequency. Lancaster services would be made more frequent, however it was suggested they would be terminated at Skipton, rather than continuing through to Leeds. All of these plans were dependent on getting enough government funding.
