There are heated waiting rooms on both platforms where an exhibition can be viewed and books can be exchanged or borrowed from a small library. The Platform 2 waiting room has a piano.
The independent café is on Platform 2 and can be accessed from the station courtyard or the platform and the doors on the platform are accessible for wheelchair users.
The café serves freshly prepared hot food, snacks, homemade cakes, a range of teas and coffees, cold drinks including some beers. The café also sells some newspapers.
It is open Monday to Friday from 5:45 am to 2 pm (Not Bank Holidays) and occasionally for events at other times.
Hebden Bridge station has two lifts and is accessible 24 hours a day.
There are several parking bays for Blue-Badge holders.
There is only one 2nd class wheelchair space per train and this is not bookable on local trains i.e those through Hebden Bridge. So if there is already a wheelchair user on board you will have to wait for the next train. However if you are catching an inter-city train in a wheelchair you are required to book at least 24hrs in advance.
