R is for Railway Station
Thurnscoe Railway Station is on the Wakefield Line that runs between Sheffield and Leeds. The railway line is the dividing line between Thurnscoe (Bottom End) and Thurnscoe East (Top End).
Originally there wasn’t a stop in Thurnscoe on this line, the nearest stops being in Frickley, a mile or so to the north and now gone, and Bolton-on-Dearne, a few more miles away to the south. This one was opened in 1988.
