The line connected collieries along its route. The BW&LR changed its name to the West Yorkshire Railway at the same time. The line was double track, just over five miles in length, between junctions at Lofthouse and Methley.

The line was double track, just over five miles in length, between junctions at Lofthouse and Methley. The connected Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and the North Eastern Railway were brought in to joint ownership of the line in 1864, and the line opened in 1865; passenger traffic was delayed, starting in 1869. A variety of passenger train services operated over the route, but the line closed to passenger trains in 1964, and completely in 1981.
