Shelley railway station forms the western terminus of the Whistlestop Valley and serves the village of Shelley, West Yorkshire. England. There was never a station here on the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway.

History

The original standard gauge line was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway as part of their 3.5 mi branch line from Clayton West Junction on the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway (between Shepley and Denby Dale) to Clayton West. The trackbed was later rebuilt by the Kirklees Light Railway, now known as Whistlestop Valley as a minimum gauge railway.
