Torfield railway station

Torfield railway station is a major, 1-platform railway station in Torfield, often dubbed 'the smallest major station in the world'.

Torfield is often visited by the East Midlands Trains HighSpeedTrain set, which operates local services in the area as well as fairly often long distance services to London St Pancras via Sheffield. East Midlands Trains, as well as operating almost all services, own the station.

Occasionally, Torfield Charters operate charters through the station and from July 2011, from Torfield to Torfield Halt and back. Usually, these charters are operated by Furness Railway no. 33 and it's carriage, but occasionally 66412 pulls the carriage on a diesel charter.

Torfield is a good place to trainspot, as when the platform is empty, Torfield depot is visible from it, which is where 66412 is based.

For a short period in July 2011 the station actually had 2 platforms, but the fairly nearby (but actually quite distant) 'Platform 2' was recategorised as a different station altogether (Torfield Halt railway station) from 25 July onwards.

There are currently plans for a second platform to be constructed, and maybe even a third. This would mean more services would be able to be operated.
