Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe Halt was a small railway station on the Dearne Valley Railway (DVR) situated between Harlington Halt and Great Houghton Halt. [1] It served the village of Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire, England.
The station opened on 3 June 1912. [2] At first, trains were operated on behalf of the DVR by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; [3] when that company amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, the combined organisation (also known as the London and North Western Railway) absorbed the DVR on the same day. [4]
The station closed on 10 September 1951. [2]
