Meltham branch line

The route began just south of Lockwood station near Lockwood Viaduct at a junction with the Penistone Line and continued as follows: A new housing estate and a Morrisons supermarket have been built on the site of the Meltham station but much of the line remains.Much of the line between Butternab and Netherton Tunnel lies on private land however the trackbed remains traceable.In 2022 the high winds caused a tree fall just outside the bricked up Northern Portal of Netherton Tunnel.Trackbed between Netherton and Healey house remains on private land albeit still traceable.The 30 yard Healey House tunnel still remains at the old station site and some of the platform can still be traced.
