Sheffield History Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Broughton Lane Station Broughton Lane Station was a train station in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The station served the communities of Darnall, Attercliffe and Carbrook and was situated on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway between Woodburn Junction and Tinsley Junction on the line between Sheffield Victoria and Barnsley / Rotherham. The station, with its main access by steps from Broughton Lane bridge, possessed two flanking platforms although was surrounded by sidings. In the 1960s a new line was built from near Broughton Lane into the newly opened Tinsley Marshalling Yard and shortly afterwards this was electrified. The station is now closed along with any signs of it ever existing. The site of the station is below the new Greenland Road viaduct over the line and canal near the foundations of the old bridge. Sheffield Supertram now uses the site and the nearest tram stop is near the Arena. Sheffield Train Stations 1930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
