Wombwell railway station lies in Wombwell, a village south of Barnsley in England. The station is 12 miles (19 km)north of Sheffield on the Hallam and Penistone Lines. It was once known as "Wombwell West", to distinguish it from Wombwell's other railway station, Wombwell Central which closed in 1959.
The station is located close to the original Wombwell Foundry which has now made way for a housing development by Ben Bailey Homes.
[edit] Services
Services currently run twice an hour, Monday to Saturdays to Sheffield, hourly Sundays and hourly to Huddersfield on the Penistone Line and Leeds on the Hallam Line respectively (two-hourly Sundays).
