The guard peers down the platform at Honley station in the vain hope of some passengers, but, to no avail. 144017 waits forming the 2B19 14.12 Huddersfield to Sheffield service. In common with most of the stations on the Penistone Line, they are single platform affairs with some having double tracks to act as convenient passing places. Passenger numbers have been steadily falling at this station over the last few years. Perhaps, the hourly service pattern does not work well for the community?
