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

Moorthorpe train station serves Moorthorpe, near Pontefract, in the City of Wakefield district of West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the Dearne Valley Line and the Wakefield Line both operated by Northern Rail.

Monday to Saturdays, an hourly service operates from Moorthorpe to Leeds via Wakefield Westgate and to Sheffield. Sundays the service is two-hourly in both directions.Two services daily operate on the Dearne Valley line to York and Sheffield.

The station was opened in May 1879 jointly by the Midland Railway and North Eastern Railway as part of their Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway scheme. A short chord was also built some time later (after the 1923 Grouping) to link the S&K Joint line with the main Doncaster to Leeds line at South Kirby Junction. This latter connection is now part of the main line between Sheffield and Leeds and is used by CrossCountry services between Edinburgh and Birmingham New Street and beyond in addition to local trains on the Leeds - Rotherham Central - Sheffield route. The junction of the two lines is immediately north of the station, with the York line then bridging the GNR main line on its way northwards.
