Leeds-bound train at Elsecar
Local passengers have the dubious pleasure of riding in class 142 diesel units. With only two axles per carriage, these trains do not give the most comfortable of rides unless the track is in really good condition.

Electra Palace, Elsecar
A fine example of an early custom-built cinema, built in 1912. It appears to be unused at present, although the fabric is still in excellent condition. See http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/18473 for more information.

Passengers alighting at Elsecar
Quite a reasonable number of passengers alighted from this train. Elsecar is the least well served station on the Sheffield to Barnsley line as during the daytime only one of the four trains per hour between Sheffield and Barnsley makes a stop here. Oddly enough, the service is better in the early evening when two per hour actually stop. The service to Huddersfield (see indicator board) also only makes stops here during the early evening period.
