Hatfield and Stainforth station sits between the two settlements it's named after but is surrounded by quite a lot of nothing, mostly because the now-closed Hatfield Colliery was until recently just north of the railway line. To get to the station you go down a long road from Hatfield:

A bricked up building remains at the station site. Its west side:

The big modern footbridge has both steps and (round to the right) ramps:

The first span of the footbridge crosses the down slow line. Looking west from the footbridge:

After that first span steps and a ramp lead down to platform 1, and then we're over the up and down fast lines:
