Darfield Railway Station

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Darfield railway station was opened in 1840 by the North Midland Railway, serving the village of Darfield in South Yorkshire, England. The original station building was of typical Francis Thompson Italianate design. Immediately south of it was Cat Hill Tunnel which was opened out when the line was quadrupled, and, in 1901, the station was rebuilt 45 chains further north next to the Doncaster road. The new station had typical Midland Railway timber panelled buildings. The new goods lines passed to the east. These had access to three major collieries - Grimethorpe, Dearne Valley and Houghton Main - and connected to the GCR and L&Y lines.
