Freight through Glasshoughton station, hour by hour
Freight is booked through or alongside Glasshoughton station on 33 paths in the week beginning 12 October 2026: 7 paths on the Wednesday, no paths on the Saturday and 2 paths on the Sunday. 15 of them run whatever the traffic; the rest are held in the timetable and used only when there is something to move.
The grid counts the goods trains booked to pass in each hour of the week beginning 12 October 2026: the darker the hour, the more paths, and a dot marks an hour with at least one path that runs regardless. Engineering trains, empty stock and light engines are not counted. Across Britain only about a fifth of booked freight paths run on a given day, so a booked path is a possibility rather than a promise; the freight statistics page explains how that is measured.
