Wincobank railway station

The station served the communities of Brightside and Wincobank and was situated on the Midland Main Line on Meadowhall Road, lying between Holmes and Brightside stations.There were no platforms on the Midland Railway line to Barnsley at the original Wincobank station.The station had a subway to access the platforms from Meadowhall Road, and evidence of this can be seen of the bricked up arch in the north-western wall of the bridge abutment.The station was situated just on the Rotherham side of the junction to the Blackburn Valley line of the South Yorkshire Railway, which itself was just east of the Midland Railway junction which took services from Sheffield to Barnsley.Today, the railway lines on the Blackburn Valley line have been removed and a cyclepath has been laid, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to walk between Ecclesfield and Meadowhall, past the similarly named nearby former SYR Meadow Hall and Wincobank railway station.
