Fitzwilliam railway station

Fitzwilliam railway station is in the small village of Fitzwilliam, West Yorkshire, England. It is also the closest station to the nearby town of Hemsworth. The station is on the Wakefield Line operated by Northern. Trains run from Fitzwilliam to Leeds via Wakefield Westgate, Doncaster and Sheffield. The current station was opened on 1 March 1982 as one of series of improvements to local rail services made by the West Yorkshire PTE (Passenger Transport Executive). This replaced the LNER station several hundred metres to the north, which opened as "Fitzwilliam Halt" on 1 July 1937 but fell victim to the Beeching cuts within little more than 30 years, closing on 6 November 1967. Unlike its modern incarnation, the original station consisted of a single island platform, accessed from the adjacent road bridge. The line was electrified in 1988.
