Bentley railway station serves Bentley, South Yorkshire. It lies on the Wakefield Line.
Bentley is a popular commuting station for Leeds and Wakefield. It has a large car park for the size of the station and as such would be a good station for Park and Ride to Doncaster. However possibly due to the footbridge issue, Adwick station is the dedicated park and ride station for Doncaster.
A common complaint is the lack of a foot bridge between the two platforms. Passengers have to cross through the road barrier to get from one side to the other. This means that if you were approaching from the opposite side than the platform you want, you could arrive 5 minutes early and still miss your train due to the barriers being down. The Wakefield line is busy with Intercity GNER services and Freight services.
Northern Rail serve this station with local routes to Leeds and Doncaster. A direct service to Sheffield is also provided by Northern Rail.
