Crofton Station was the smaller of two stations serving Crofton (with the other being Hare Park & Crofton). It was next to Doncaster Road, on the current Pontefract Line, behind the Crofton Arms Public House. The station was demolished in the 1960s, yet the remains of the old station house in its current derelict form can be seen from the A638, or on passing trains from Wakefield Kirkgate, towards Pontefract Tanshelf.
