Dist:0.1km north<br/>The Station pub viewed from the 'entrance' to Castleford railway station. Although the new transport interchange will be welcomed by passengers, it's a shame the pub will be demolished as part of the project.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This is the only platform now used at Castleford, the footbridge being locked up. Castleford is an 'in and out' station since trains calling here bound for Leeds or for Pontefract and beyond reverse taking a different route at the junction a couple hundred yards just out of view in this picture.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>A crowd of passengers and spectators awaits the arrival of the 'Scarborough Flyer' steam excursion at Castleford as a Leeds–Knottingley train stands in the platform. The building on the right is all that remains of the once-extensive structure opened by the North Eastern Railway in 1876. View looking west towards Leeds and Wakefield.
