Support to re-open Elland Railway Station could tonight get a £50,000 boost.
Calderdale Cabinet members will consider approving funding of more than £400,000 for several community-wide schemes from its Economic Task Force.
It includes £50,000 to support the production of a required Governance of Rail Improvement Projects document for a railway at Elland.
Cabinet papers say the money will be used towards the feasibility process.
The report adds: “Progressing this work does not guarantee that a new station will prove feasible or happen, but it is a necessary step if progress is to be made.”
The campaign for a station has stepped up this year.
The Halifax and District Rail Action Group has identified an area near Lowfields industrial and business park as a potential site for the station.
