The original standard gauge line was opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway as part of their 3.5 miles (5.6 km) branch line from Clayton West Junction on the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway (between Shepley and Denby Dale) to Clayton West. The trackbed was later rebuilt by the Kirklees Light Railway, now known as Whistlestop Valley as a minimum gauge railway.
