Honley railway station serves the village of Honley in the Holme Valley of West Yorkshire, England. Honley station lies approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) from Huddersfield on the Penistone Line operated by Northern Trains.
The station was opened by the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway (a constituent company of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) in 1850.
The railway line through Honley has been single since 1989, with only one platform (the former northbound one) in use for both directions
Facilities
[edit]In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic customer real-time information screens (CIS) at the station. It was later revealed by Metro that they were to be installed in May/June 2015.[2] These are now (December 2016) in use. The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket vending machine (TVM) at the entrance to the station. A customer help point and CIS screens offer train running information as does the TVM. A single waiting shelter is located next to the station entrance; there is no step-free access however, as the platform is above street level and can only be reached by stairs from the street below.
Services
[edit]There is an hourly service in operation Monday to Saturday from Honley to Huddersfield and Sheffield via Barnsley; on Sundays trains also call hourly each way from mid-morning.[3]
