Barnby Dun railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Barnby Dun railway station was a small station on the South Yorkshire Railway 's line between Doncaster and Thorne. It served the village of Barnby Dun, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The original line followed closely the canal bank and the station was resited when the line was 'straigtened' in the 1860's.

The original station, which was situated across the canal from the village, was opened with the line on 7th July 1856 and closed on 1st October 1866 when the new station, at the opposite side of the village was opened.

The rebuilt station consisted of flanking platforms with its main buildings, in yellow engineers brick, on the Thorne-bound (up) platform. This platform was long, with a ramp to a 'barrow crossing' to the 'down' side at its centre. The station was again rebuilt to accommodate four tracks in the Doncaster to Thorne widening of 1913 when the Doncaster-bound (down) platform was moved back. The station closed on 4th September 1967.
