Castleford railway station serves the town of Castleford in West Yorkshire. It lies on the Hallam and Pontefract lines, 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Leeds. Although it was built originally as a through station, regular passenger services beyond Castleford towards York were discontinued in January 1970. Today, all Northern Trains services calling at the station reverse here, arriving and departing from the former northbound platform 1. Platform 2 had been brought back into temporary use during the Leeds First project in 2002; Trans-Pennine services between York and Huddersfield were diverted to avoid engineering work in Leeds, routed via Church Fenton, Castleford and Wakefield Kirkgate. Platform 2 has subsequently been rebuilt with a new footbridge to enable step-free access. Platform 2 was brought back into permanent use in 2023 to accommodate extra services as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade project. The route from Church Fenton continues to be used for freight traffic, empty stock transfers, special trains and such engineering and other diversions as required as well as a small number of passenger trains that are booked this way for route retention. In February 2016, West Yorkshire Metro opened a new Castleford bus station close to the railway station, featuring an integrated and staffed transport interchange. Work on the new £6 million bus station was started in October 2014.
