Public Transit System

- Trains Brighouse is served by a railway station on the regional Calder Valley corridor with frequent passenger services linking the town to Huddersfield and Halifax and offering onward connections to larger hubs (Leeds, Manchester and other West Yorkshire destinations).
- Trams Brighouse does not have a local tram or light-rail network; urban tram systems are not present in the town itself, so travel between towns relies on buses and regional rail.
