    The station has been refurbished, now a pleasant place to catch a train, it even has a coffee shop.

    Due to expensive and comprehensive renovation of the station buildings, there are no custoner information screens on platform one.

    Just outside is the Snooty Fox, a fine local music venue. Check it out.

    What's wrong with this place? Simply fuss free station. So what if there are no cafes, shops etc. It's got platforms n trains.

    Not so much a station as two strips of concrete you can park a train next to and open the doors to let people on and off.

    Don't be alone here at night, or.. in the day either. Even if you're not alone its still best to avoid Kirkgate.

    Listen out for platform announcements! You may expect a train to be at Platform 1, but it may arrive at Platform 2! Even better, just don't use this station! It's awful!

    Absolutely vile. Avoid at all costs. Especially at night. At least they've put CCTV in the underpass now.

    A horrible station, with no members of staff and very little useful info. Train platforms change all the time as well. Nightmare.
