View SE, towards Wath Road Junction, Rotherham and Sheffield on the ex-Midland Sheffield - Leeds main line, also Sheffield via Chapeltown; the train to Barnsley (Court House)(here headed by Johnson/Deeley 1P 0-4-4T No. 58066) would go forward and turn off at Cudworth South Junction for Barnsley via Monk Bretton. From 19/4/60 Court House station was closed and these trains then ran into Barnsley Exchange, but ceased from 1/1/68 when Cudworth station was also closed along with all passenger services along the main line between Wath Road Junction and Oakenshaw Junction owing to mining subsidence, although some freight traffic lingered on until 1986.
