Alverthorpe railway station served the village of Alverthorpe near Wakefield in the English county of West Yorkshire.
History
Opened by the Great Northern Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, closing a mere six years later.
The site today
Nothing now remains on site and the two sides of the railway triangle that brought trains to the station have been dismantled. Trains still use the eastern part of the triangle, bypassing the site between Outwood and Wakefield Westgate stations on the Wakefield Line.
