caption_attribution_description: English: Edlington (Doncaster): site of former station/halt, 1992. View southward on the B6376 Warmsworth - Maltby road. The Halt had been on the left and was the terminus of the local service run until 10/9/51 from Wakefield on the ex-L&amp;Y Dearne Valley mineral line, which continued to Black Carr and Bessacarr Junctions on the ex-GNR until 1966.
context_page_description: Edlington railway station was a small railway station at the eastern terminus of the Dearne Valley Railway. The station's full title as shown on the station nameboard is "Edlington for Balby Doncaster". It was built to serve the mining village of Edlington and the Doncaster suburb of Balby in South Yorkshire, England.
  The station, like others on the Dearne Valley, consisted of a bed of sleepers set at track level with an old L&Y coach body lit by a couple of gas lamps for a waiting shelter. The large station sign was removed in the late 1920s and replaced by a simple "Edlington".
  The station was opened for passengers on 3 June 1912 and ceased on 10 September 1951. The passenger service was originally operated by a Hughes-designed 'railmotor' which was fitted with vacuum-operated retractable steps, thus saving on platform building. At first, trains were operated on behalf of the DVR by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway; when that company amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922, the combined organisation absorbed the DVR on the same day.
