Platform 3 at Mirfield

Mirfield railway station has an unusual arrangement following track rationalisation some years ago. The original station had a single island platform (from which this photo was taken) west of Station Road; but the track in the foreground is now only used for freight rather than westbound passenger trains. Stopping westbound trains now use the new platform 3 seen here, staggered to the east of the road bridge. This is a stopping service to Manchester Victoria via Hebden Bridge.
