"The railway line was originally the Horbury (Wakefield) to Barnsley section of the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Goole Railway.
This section opened on 31 December 1849 and was leased to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway for operation of the trains. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway subsequently purchased the line in 1858."
