It was a victim of the Beeching axe, closing on 1 January 1968 when the local Sheffield-Cudworth-Leeds passenger trains were withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>Express passenger and freight trains continued to pass through the station until 1986 when the line was closed due to severe subsidence; few remains of the station were present at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Source: wikiwand<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digitally coloured and enhanced old photograph of Wath North Railway station before demolition. <a class=\"read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wath-north-railway-station\/\"> [Continue]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23934,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23309\/revisions\/23934"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wath-on-dearne.com\/wathondearne\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
