Tourism
Owing to a large number of easily accessed and nationally acclaimed pubs along the route (particularly on the station platforms themselves at Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Stalybridge), the route has also acquired the informal title of Rail Ale Trail and featured on the BBC's Oz and James Drink to Britain. Of particular interest are:
- West Riding Licensed Refreshment Rooms (on the platform at Dewsbury Station, 2006 runner up CAMRA National Pub of the Year)
- The Kings Head, formerly known as The Station Tavern, in the east wing of Huddersfield station
- Sair Inn (with its own brewery, in Linthwaite, across the river from Slaithwaite station, 1997 National Pub of the Year)
- Riverhead, Marsden (with the Riverhead Brewery in the basement, in the town a little down from the station and tunnels)
- Station Buffet at Stalybridge (original Victorian Station Buffet with marble counter, on the platform at Stalybridge station)
Although there are many other worthy candidates close by to these and other stations on the line.
