Ackworth railway station

Ackworth railway station was a railway station serving Ackworth in the English county of West Yorkshire.

History

The station was opened in 1879 by the Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway, which became a joint railway between the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The station was closed by British Railways to passengers in July 1951, but official closure was not completed until 21 July 1959.

Site today

Trains pass on the Dearne Valley line, but there is no longer a station at Ackworth.
