When I 'were a lad' there were two passenger and two goods lines passing through here, and it wasn't bright red! One of the goods lines terminates behind the station building on the left. Just down the line in the distance (looking north-west) was the end of the Sheffield - Manchester - Wath 1500V DC electrified system that ran through the now disused Woodhead Tunnel.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Catching a train here always seems like a desolate, isolated experience! Although the station is immaculately presented, it is accessed via a rough track and a footbridge over an out-of-use track. The area though is undergoing some rejuvenation, note Brunswick Gardens Village in the background.
