Hapton station was a short walk from nearby Huncoat but the walk was like the station itself: dominated by the noise of the M65 which the line parallels here. Our route took us on a footbridge over the motorway, from where we looked east to see the station:

Arriving at the station through the village, we enter on a footbridge which is built next to the road bridge to its east:

Ramps lead down from each side of the footbridge to the platforms. On platform 1 at the bottom of the ramp:
