Once a major railway junction Image, Normanton is now a simple unstaffed station on the line between Castleford and Wakefield, with a single island platform (two faces) served by just one train per hour each way on the Sheffield to Leeds service. This bridge, with steps and ramps, links the platform to Lower Station Road on the south side. It seems have replaced the function of the foot crossing seen in Image some time in the preceding nine years, see Image
