Darton railway station is a railway station in a large village of Darton,in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley,South Yorkshire,England. Train services are provided by Northern.
The station was opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway on 1 January 1850. [1]
The railway station is in South Yorkshire but West Yorkshire Metro tickets are also valid to and from this station. [2] The reason for this is that the West-South Yorkshire boundary historically ran between the village and its main source of employment,Woolley Colliery.[ citation needed ]
The car park at the station was recently[ when? ] reported by the local police force as having the highest incidence of vehicle break-ins in the Barnsley area,but the installation of CCTV is hoped to address this problem.
