Shepley railway station
Opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1850, it is located at the southern end of one of the two passing loops on the otherwise single track section between Barnsley and Huddersfield.Shepley was also the junction station for the former branch line to Clayton West, via Skelmanthorpe from its opening in 1879 until closure in January 1983 – the branch has since been reopened as the minimum gauge Kirklees Light Railway, whose western terminus at Shelley is located just under a mile to the east.The station once had a goods yard which has now been converted to housing; its main building on the northbound platform still stands, but is not in rail use.In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic real-time information screens (CIS) at the station.[3] Trains operate hourly from Shepley in each direction, towards Huddersfield, and to Barnsley and Sheffield.
