Trains to Rotherham Central - Station Details and further Information on Rotherham Central Train Services
Rotherham Central train station is in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The station was originally named "Rotherham", becoming "Rotherham and Masborough" in January 1889 and finally "Rotherham Central" on 25 September 1950. (The town's other station was at one time known as "Masbrough and Rotherham".) Although Rotherham Masborough is now closed, Rotherham Central has retained its suffix.
The line through Masborough survives, and is used by fast passenger trains to bypass Rotherham Central station (which as a result is served only by stopping services) and for freight trains travelling on the direct line to Chesterfield, known as "The Old Road".
Currently the station has a half-hourly service on weekdays to Doncaster (with most trains continuing on to either Scunthorpe or Adwick) and hourly to Wakefield & Leeds, along with three trains per hour to Meadowhall and Sheffield (one of which continues to Retford & Lincoln). The twice-daily service to York via the Dearne Valley Line also calls here.
Sundays see an hourly service to Doncaster, a train every two hours to Leeds, and either one or two trains per hour to Sheffield. |
