Although a line passes east-west through Castleford station, the eastern end is now only a goods line, and so trains reverse here on their way between Woodlesford and either Glasshoughton or Normanton via the junction just west of the station. (Because of this, it can be harder to catch the station when it's not full of people, so these photos were taken on two different days.)

The main approach to the station from the town itself is from the south via this tunnel which goes under the line:

There is no access to the station other than via the tunnel but the old signalbox on this side of the track can clearly be seen:

Exiting the tunnel one comes to the car park:
