Guide Bridge
(1861 - )
the station opened as Ashton and Hooley
Hill on November 11 1841, it was renamed Ashton in February 1842
and became Guide Bridge on July 14 1845, when the line was
extended to Sheffield
The station had a four platform configuration originally, with a large office on the southern side. However, the southern (former slow line) platforms were decommissioned and the tracks were lifted in 1984–85 and demolition of the buildings following a few years later
On 22 October 2006, a fire gutted the waiting room, footbridge and ticket office. The fire has subsequently been attributed to arson and caused around £1m of damage to the station, necessitating the demolition of the footbridge. This has not been rebuilt, necessitating a lengthy walk out of the station and along the adjacent main road to change platforms
A new single-storey ticket office was commissioned in December 2014, it was built on the former island platform as part of a £1.7 million revamp of the station. Improved lighting, an extended car park with 140 spaces, CCTV cameras and cycle storage lockers were also provided. The new facilities were opened officially by the Minister of State for Transport Baroness Kramer
