The original L&YR station opened here in 1848 on the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's line from Wakefield to Pontefract slightly up the line by the next curve in the direction of Wakefield Kirkgate. It takes approximately 2 minutes to travel from the modern Streethouse station to the former Sharlston-Streethouse\Sharlston Station, which closed to regular passengers in 1958 and then completely in 1967. It was adjacent to a branch line and former junction to the now-closed local Sharlston coal mine. ==Services==
