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 tracked since 1989, with only one platform (the former northbound one) in use for both directions.
Facilities
[edit]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] As of December 2016, these are now in use.
The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket vending machine at the entrance to the station; a customer help point and CIS screens also offer train running information. A single waiting shelter is located next to the station entrance. There is no step-free access, as the platform is above street level and can only be reached by stairs from the street below.[3]
Services
[edit]Trains operate hourly between Huddersfield and Sheffield, via Barnsley.[4]
