Darton railway station
Railway station in South Yorkshire, England
Darton railway station is a railway station in a large village of Darton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. Train services are provided by Northern.
The station was opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway on 1 January 1850.[1]
The railway station is in South Yorkshire but West Yorkshire Metro tickets are also valid to and from this station.[2] The reason for this is that the West-South Yorkshire boundary historically ran between the village and its main source of employment, Woolley Colliery.[citation needed]
The car park at the station was recently[when?] reported by the local police force as having the highest incidence of vehicle break-ins in the Barnsley area, but the installation of CCTV is hoped to address this problem.
