Can't be Sheffield, it's not Midland architecture.

55814 suggests a 3 car unit and therefore a Calder Valley service, it's nothing west of Hebden Bridge, not Sowerby Bridge, Halifax or Bradford Interchange so that places it on a Man Vic - Leeds via Brighouse service... Huddersfield?

@Lampshade - was a collective "you" (as in everyone) as up to now mine have gone very quickly.

Not Wakefield Westgate

You may take it as a clue though...indeed, no wires

Not Huddersfield, getting warmer though.

Ironically I have no idea what unit it is etc...I took the picture randomly because I found it funny how the whole thing lurched forward on braking. There may have been some ulterior motive behind it but I can't remember!

It's a 144, more specifically 144014 who's natural home is on the Man Vic - Leeds via Brighouse services.

I hereby lay down... Dewsbury.

Dewsbury is correct.

The pic is from May 2008 so I believe it will have been a Huddersfield - Leeds stopper...Man Vic to Leeds didn't start until the December timetable change that year

Gunnislake?

Again, open floor if correct.
You got it, closed in 1994 and now a housing estate, for those not 'in the know' it was a removal of a low bridge to the south of the station for surprise, surpise 'better road access' for Lorries, the new station is sited on the other side of the bridge site.

I was at Gunnislake on Wednesday and I thought it didn't look right. Not the same as it had in 1986 that's for sure. The new station's nicer than that hovel tho.
