Notes: The first MS & L (Manchester Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway) station at Penistone opened 14.7.1845. When the L & Y (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) service opened on 1.7.1950 it joined the MS & L at a junction east of the station and trains had to reverse into the MS & L station. This was replaced by a joint GC & L & Y station at the junction in 1874 with separate sets of platforms.

After withdrawal of the passenger service in 1970 the line remained in use until 17.7.1981, with the track between Deepcar and Hadfield remaining in place until 1986. Parts of the trackbed were then blocked by road construction preventing any future reopening. Much of the line now forms a cyclepath as part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

The L & Y platforms at Penistone remain open serving Sheffield, Barnsley & Huddersfield..
