Hare Park & Crofton railway station, sometimes just known as Crofton railway station, was a station located on the West Riding and Grimsby Railway, this section now known as the Wakefield Line. It served the village of Crofton in West Yorkshire, England and is located around 3 miles (4.8 km) to the south of Wakefield. The station was opened in November 1885 and closed on 31 March 1952.
This site, in the West Yorkshire transport plan, has been suggested for a new station with the village of Crofton now having a population of over 6,000 as well as this, the proposal of a new railway station further down the line closer to New Crofton is cited in the Crofton village plan, to hopefully remove congestion in the village, and cut down on carbon emissions.
