Brightside railway station
- Brightside railway station
Brightside railway station was a railway station in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The station served the communities of Brightside and Wincobank and was situated on the Midland Main Line on Holywell Road, lying between Attercliffe Road and Holmes Station.
The station opened in 1838, at the same time as the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway from Wicker Station and had two platforms although four tracks went through. The two outside tracks were for freight use whilst the two inside tracks were used by both stopping and express trains.
Despite the opening of Meadowhall Interchange in 1990, the station remained open until 1993. A limited service had continued in its last three years and the station closed without fanfare with a poster announcing that all remaining trains could be caught at Meadowhall.
The standard South Yorkshire style bus shelter that had replaced the station buildings by the early 1980s was removed in early 2006. A footbridge spans across the three remaining tracks and both sets of stairs to the platforms are boarded.
The footbridge remains open as it serves as a footpath from the bottom of Dearne Street to Station Lane steps.
