Denby Dale railway station serves the village of Denby Dale, in West Yorkshire, England and the surrounding area. It lies on the Penistone Line 9.5 miles (15 km) south east of Huddersfield and is operated by Northern. Opened by the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway in 1850 (which subsequently became part of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway), it originally had two platforms but lost the northbound one when the Clayton West Junction to Penistone section was singled in 1969. The line from the south is carried above the village on an impressive stone viaduct which is over 100 feet (30 m) high (one of several such structures on the route).
In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic real-time customer information screens (CIS) at the station. They will be installed in May/June 2014.[3]
Tickets
Denby Dale is a boundary station for both West Yorkshire PTE and South Yorkshire PTE. Therefore, tickets for both PTE's are valid to and from this station. It is unstaffed and passengers must buy their tickets from the conductor on the train.
Services
On Monday to Saturday, trains operate hourly towards Huddersfield and Sheffield and two-hourly in each direction on Sundays.[4]
