Wadsley Bridge Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wadsley Bridge Station was a station in Sheffield on the Great Central Railway. It opened on 14 July 1845 on what was then the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway, on a route from Bridgehouses (soon superseded by Sheffield Victoria) to Manchester London Road. It stood on the north side of Halifax Road between Neepsend and Oughtibridge stations.
The station closed to regular passenger service on 15 June 1959, the Woodhead Line itself closed to passengers in 1970. Summer specials were advertised until 31 October 1965, Sheffield-Huddersfield passenger trains continued to run through the station until 1983 and football specials used the station until 1996, serving Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium. The Don Valley Railway project has proposed to build a new station at, or close to the site of the original Wadsley Bridge station.
