Flushdyke was a Great Northern Railway station on Wakefield Road in Flushdyke, West Yorkshire. The station originally opened (as Ossett) on the north side of Wakefield Road on 7 April 1862,[1] was renamed Flushdyke when the later Ossett station opened two years later, and at some date moved to the south side of the road bridge. It was closed from 5 May 1941.[2] Steps from the road led to two side platforms, each with a shelter.[3]
