Swinton is the second station of its name that I've visited, the other being Swinton in Manchester. This one was the day's last station as the shadows grew longer. It's a modern interchange at the junction of two lines and as befits such things it has a large car park:

The building has a small ticket office as well as information and a ticket machine:
