The quiet rural looks of the station belies the fact it was a busy junction in the 50's and 60's..

Thankfully, the new waiting room was built in an in-keeping manner.

Pacer 142 088 enters the station from the single-track Penistone Viaduct.

Not much now remains of the electrified trans-pennine route through the Woodhead Tunnel.
