The station was opened by the Huddersfield & Sheffield Junction Railway, a constituent company of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, in 1850.
The railway line through Honley has been single tracked since 1989, with only one platform (the former northbound one) in use for both directions.
Facilities
In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic customer real-time information screens (CIS) at the station. It was later revealed by Metro that they were to be installed in May/June 2015.[2] As of December 2016, these are now in use.
The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket vending machine at the entrance to the station; a customer help point and CIS screens also offer train running information. A single waiting shelter is located next to the station entrance. There is no step-free access, as the platform is above street level and can only be reached by stairs from the street below.[3]
Services
Trains operate hourly between Huddersfield and Sheffield, via Barnsley.[4]
