Pontefract Baghill railway station
Pontefract Baghill railway station is the least busy of the three railway stations in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, England. The other stations, Monkhill and Tanshelf, both lie on the Pontefract Line, while Baghill lies on the Dearne Valley Line 21.25 miles (34 km) south of York towards Sheffield. The station dates from 1879 (when the Ferrybridge to Moorthorpe section of the Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway opened) and was also once linked to the Wakefield, Pontefract & Goole main line by means of a short chord to Pontefract Monkhill near where the two lines intersect (as can be seen from the RCH map below). This closed in November 1964, but the bay platform it once used at the northern end can still be made out. There are also two short curves north of the station, connecting the line
