Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road |
The station was opened by the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway (a constituent company of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) in 1850.
The railway line through Honley has been single since 1989, with only one platform (the former northbound one) in use for both directions
Facilities
In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic customer real-time information screens (CIS) at the station. It was later revealed by Metro that they were to be installed in May/June 2015.[2] These are now (December 2016) in use. The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket vending machine (TVM) at the entrance to the station. A customer help point and CIS screens offer train running information as does the TVM. A single waiting shelter is located next to the station entrance; there is no step-free access however, as the platform is above street level and can only be reached by stairs from the street below.
Services
There is an hourly service in operation Monday to Saturday from Honley to Huddersfield and Sheffield via Barnsley; on Sundays trains also call hourly each way from mid-morning.[3]
