Kilnhurst West railway station

Kilnhurst West was a railway station in Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire, England. It was one of two railway stations serving the village, the other being Kilnhurst Central. They were situated at either end of the village's main thoroughfare, Victoria Street.

This station was located on the former North Midland Railway and was served mainly by Sheffield Midland - Cudworth - Leeds stopping services. The station booking office was at road level, with an entrance on Highthorne Road, and was linked to its four platforms by a covered wooden footbridge. By the early 1980s little remained of the station.

The station was closed, along with others on the line, when these trains were axed on 4th January 1968.

The line is still in use for freight, express passenger and local passenger trains, the nearest station to Kilnhurst is now approximately a mile and a half away at Swinton (South Yorkshire) railway station. Station House,the ex station managers house still stands on the south west side of the overbridge at the junction of Highthorn Road/Wentworth Road
