The Office of Rail Regulation has approved Virgin Trains East Coast request to run a service every two hours from Bradford to London starting in 2019.
There will still be four trains a day from Bradford Interchange to London King’s Cross operated by Grand Central, which will stop at Low Moor when the new station opens.
Bradford Council Deputy Leader, Val Slater, who is Executive Member for Transport, said: "I wholeheartedly welcome this announcement. It is great news for Bradford.
"The future prosperity of the city and the region depends upon efficient and reliable transport links, particularly with the capital city.
"It will bring improved links to London from both sides of the city.
"Together with the new rail franchise improvements next year, new stations at Apperley Bridge and Low Moor, and the proposed major refurbishment of Forster Square station, Bradford is poised for a prolonged period of sustainable rail transport development with all the economic benefits that brings.”
