The western terminus of the Kirklees Light Railway, which runs along the trackbed of the former Clayton West branch, is only around 100m short of the former Clayton West Junction on the line between Penistone and Huddersfield. Beyond the station turntable and cafe there is a surfaced track alongside a grassed area for events which then becomes a rough track upto the Network Rail access gate. A grab shot captured a passing Northern Rail 144 3 coach Pacer running across the former junction whilst heading for Huddersfield.
