Dewsbury railway station serves the town of Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, England.
The station is managed by TransPennine Express trains and it is the stop between Leeds and Huddersfield.
The station is on the Huddersfield Line operated by Northern Rail. It is 9 miles (14km) away from Leeds. The station was opened in 1848 by the London and North Western Railway and was originally known as Dewsbury Wellington Road. Dewsbury had two other railway stations, both now closed: these were Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's Market Place, and the Great Northern Railway's Central. Market Place was the first, opened by the Manchester and Leeds Railway in 1840. No trace of Market Place station remains, but the facade of Dewsbury Central Station can still be seen, as it was incorporated into a bridge supporting the Dewsbury Ring Road in 1985.
From Dewsbury there is a half-hourly TransPennine Express service to Leeds, Huddersfield, Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport Monday to Saturday daytimes and an hourly service evenings and Sundays. Trains go onwards from Leeds towards York, Middlesbrough and Newcastle.
There is also an hourly Monday to Saturdays, half-hourly at peak times, (two-hourly Sunday), local service to Leeds and Huddersfield that stops at stops along the Huddersfield Line.
