HISTORY (From Wikipedia)
The present station is the second built to serve the community of Woodhouse. The railway line between Sheffield and Gainsborough was proposed by the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway (S&LJR); upon authorisation of this line in August 1846, the S&LJR amalgamated with other railways to form the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR).
The first section of the S&LJR line, between Sheffield and Beighton (on the Midland Railway) opened on 12 February 1849; the second section, which left the first near Woodhouse and ran to Gainsborough, opened on 17 July 1849. A station at the junction was opened by the MS&LR in October 1850, named Woodhouse Junction.
The original station was at the bottom of Junction Lane, adjacent to the present Woodhouse Junction, formerly East Junction, signal box and was built to serve the communities of Beighton, then within Derbyshire, and Woodhouse. This station was closed on 11 October 1875 and replaced on the same day by a new station 700 yards (640 m) to the west, named Woodhouse. The new station was one of the earliest examples of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway's Double Pavilion designs at its present location.
The current station has two platforms; what looks like a third disused and overgrown platform on the Down Side (Sheffield bound side) is a former Goods loading bay, whilst on the Up side (Worksop bound), again what looks like a disused platform is actually the truncated former Up Goods line that ran behind the Up Main platform. A number of goods sidings exist immediately to the east, which see sporadic use by engineers trains.
Woodhouse was the hub of two colliery branches: to the west a branch to Orgreave Colliery, which was extended to reach Treeton Colliery under the MS&LR (Extension to London) Act 1893 and opened on 10 October 1898, and, to the east, from Woodhouse East Junction, the Birley Branch, which served the Birley Collieries, belonging to the Sheffield Coal Company.
