Details

The view from a Met-Camm DMU approaching Skelmanthorpe, the only intermediate station on the 1879 Clayton West branch, on 30 December 1982. We came off the Huddersfield to Penistone line at Shepley Junction.

The driver has put the single line tablet for the Shepley Junction to Clayton West section in its ringed leather pouch on top of the hand brake in the cab.

The branch closed a few weeks later and today Skelmanthorpe is a stop on the narrow gauge Kirklees Light Railway that runs from the junction to Clayton.
