Spen Valley Line page is muddled as there are three railway lines:

LNWR from Battyeford (NW of Mirfield station) to Heckmondwike Spen (Leeds New Line) - British Railway called this Spen Valley line
- Stations are Battyeford, Northorpe Higher, and Heckmondwike Spen

L&Y from Mirfield to Heckmondwike Central (Mirfield to Low Moor Branch)
- Stations are Mirfield, Northorpe Lower, and Heckmondwike Central

L&Y from Thornhill to Heckmondwike Central (Ravensthorpe branch)
- Stations are Thornhill, Ravensthorpe (L&Y), and Heckmondwike Central.

Note: Someone, I think, confused Northorpe Lower with Ravensthorpe.

Confusingly, Sustrans and Kirklees Council decided to build a cycle route down the Ravensthorpe branch, but called it Spen Valley Greenway.
