Mirfield railway station serves the town of Mirfield in West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the Huddersfield Line operated by Northern Rail and is 4 miles (6 km) north east from Huddersfield.

The platforms have an unusual configuration. Platforms 1 and 2 form an island platform on the western side of the bridge over Station Road/Hopton New Road. Trains from Platform 1 go to Leeds and Wakefield Westgate (eastbound); Platform 2 is rarely used for normal scheduled services but is passed by non-stopping westbound trains to Huddersfield. Platform 3 is a side platform on the eastern side of the bridge; trains are towards Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford Interchange and Brighouse (westbound). The train to Leeds takes around 25 minutes and to reach Huddersfield takes around 10 minutes.

[edit] Services

Mondays to Saturdays, eastbound from Mirfield, two trains per hour (approximately half-hourly) operate towards Leeds, with an hourly service to Wakefield Westgate via Wakefield Kirkgate.

Westbound two trains an hour serve Huddersfield, one continuing to Halifax and Bradford Interchange, with connecting services at Huddersfield to Manchester centre and Manchester Airport; there is also an hourly service to Hebden Bridge via Brighouse. During the weekday morning peak an additional train runs to Leeds.

On Sundays, a two-hourly service operates eastbound to Leeds and westbound to Marsden via Huddersfield.
