On a grey mid-winter day, 30th December 1982, Honley station on the Huddersfield to Penistone line, plays host to two first generation diesel multiple units. Ours is Huddersfield-bound from Clayton West station on the branch from Shepley Junction while the Up line train is heading for Sheffield via Barnsley. Opened in 1850 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway this was once a main line route but by 1982 it had been downgraded. Sadly it had a lot further down to go because today it is just single track so no more passing trains. The Clayton West branch closed completely 3 weeks after this visit. Pete LG99.

The Sheffield to Huddersfield service via Penistone was a BR backwater which was perhaps lucky to survive Beeching. Here a "Metro Train" branded two-car Class 110 Birmingham RC&W unit calls at Honley with 52080 leading the way to Huddersfield on the 30th August 1986. Mike Dean.
