Trains to Marsden - Station Details and further Information on Marsden Train Services

Marsden train station serves the village of Marsden near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, England. The station is on the Huddersfield Line, operated by Northern Rail and is about 7 miles west of Huddersfield station. It was opened in 1849 by the LNWR and is the last station before the West Yorkshire boundary with Greater Manchester.

From Monday to Saturday, Marsden is served by an hourly Northern Rail service from Manchester Victoria station to Huddersfield station, with a few extra services at peak times. There is also an hourly service in operation on Sundays. The more frequent TransPennine Express service, from Manchester Piccadilly station and points west to Huddersfield station and points east, passes through Marsden without stopping.

The station has three platforms which, unusually, each have their own entrance and exit. Platforms 1 and 2 (which was once an island platform) are accessed by separate flights of stairs from the road over bridge which crosses the line to the west of the station. Platform 3 is accessed from the same road by a bridge across the nearby canal. Only platform 3 (which was built on the former Up Goods Loop in the mid 1980s) has step-free access to the street. Other than simple shelters on the platforms, there are no station buildings and the station is unmanned.

The station is situated about 0.5 miles to the east of the entrance to the Standedge rail and canal tunnels. The tunnel entrance, with its exhibition and boat trips, can easily be reached by walking along the towpath of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, which runs adjacent to the station. The station's former goods yard is now the headquarters of the National Trust's Marsden Moor Estate, and the goods shed contains a public exhibition, Welcome to Marsden, which gives an overview of the area and its transport history.

There was formerly another area of sidings situated to the south of the railway and canal, to the west of the station, which was originally built to accommodate the heavy traffic generated during the building of the reservoirs in the nearby Wessenden Valley. The steeply graded Huddersfield Corporation Waterworks Railway connected these sidings to the reservoir works. The area is now a heavily wooded country park, but an abutment of the long demolished bridge by which the waterworks railway crossed the River Colne can still be found amongst the vegetation.
