Chapeltown railway station, originally known as Chapeltown South, is a railway station serves the Sheffield suburb of Chapeltown in South Yorkshire, England. The station is 7.25miles north of Sheffield on the Hallam and Penistone Lines.
The present station was the first to be opened under the governance of the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive in 1984;[1] the original station, just over 600m (2,000feet) nearer to Barnsley, closed at the same time. The platforms, shown in the photograph of the old station looking towards the new station just visible in the distance, were retained, the Barnsley-bound platform being used as a walkway to connect the original access to the new station.
The station featured in an episode of the 8th season of the BBC documentary series Great British Railway Journeys in January 2017 - presenter Michael Portillo began the third leg of his journey from Blackpool to Harwich there, visiting local beauty spot Wharncliffe Crags before later rejoining the train at the station to travel on to Sheffield, Conisbrough and Doncaster.[2]
The concrete platforms each have a "bus stop" style waiting shelter, along with timetable information boards, CIS displays and bench seating; a customer help point is located on platform 2. Though the station is unmanned, a self-service ticket machine is provided for travellers to buy them prior to boarding or collect advance purchase tickets. The station is not listed as accessible on the National Rail website, but there is step-free access to the southbound side via the supermarket car park and along the pathway from Sussex Road northbound (along the old station platform).[3]
Services run twice an hour Monday to Saturday to Sheffield (hourly on Sundays) and hourly to on the Penistone Line and on the Hallam Line respectively (two-hourly Sundays).[4]
