Streethouse railway station

Streethouse railway station serves the village of Streethouse in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the Pontefract Line, operated by Northern Trains and is east of Wakefield Kirkgate station.
The station was opened by West Yorkshire Metro and Regional Railways on 12 May 1992 when the line between Wakefield and Pontefract was re-opened to passenger traffic.

History

The original L&YR station opened here in 1848 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's line from Wakefield to Pontefract slightly up the line by the next curve in the direction of Wakefield Kirkgate. It takes approximately 2 minutes to travel from the modern Streethouse station to the former Sharlston-Streethouse\Sharlston Station, which closed to regular passengers in 1958 and then completely in 1967. It was adjacent to a branch line and former junction to the now-closed local Sharlston coal mine.
