Wath North railway station
- Wath North railway station
Wath North railway station was on the Midland Railway's Sheffield Midland - Cudworth - Normanton - Leeds City main line, serving the South Yorkshire town of Wath-upon-Dearne. The station was the furthest of the town's three railway stations from the town centre, being located three-quarters of a mile north of the town centre on the road to Bolton-on-Dearne, in an area of heavy industry away from the residential areas.
It was originally built by the North Midland Railway in 1841 the year after it opened. It was a victim of the Beeching axe, being closed in 1968 when the local Sheffield-Cudworth-Leeds passenger trains were axed from the line. Express passenger and freight trains continued to pass through the station until 1986 when the line was closed due to severe subsidence; few remains of the station were present at that time.
