Marsden station is the last stop in West Yorkshire before the line crosses into Greater Manchester territory. It's a very quiet place, with the canal parallelling the railway until they both reach the Standedge Tunnels under the Pennines to the west.

Platform 3 has an entrance from the south of the station, which crosses the canal:
