The station is 6.25 miles (10 km) from Huddersfield on the Penistone Line operated by Northern.
Most of the Penistone Line is single track between Huddersfield and Barnsley (and has been since 1989). However,Stocksmoor marks the first point (for Sheffield-bound trains) or last point (for Huddersfield-bound trains) where there is dual running track (the passing loop extends as far south as the next station at Shepley and most trains are scheduled to pass each other on this section).
