Although the operational line starts at Moor Road, the line actually begins with the "Balm Road Branch" which joins the Middleton Railway with the Leeds - Sheffield route of the Hallam & Pontefract Lines. However, the connection to the main network has not been used since 1990 and has been bolted closed preventing access. This section of track crosses "Beza Road", "Tulip Street" and "Moor Road". It is currently only used during special events as the line and crossings would need upgrading for regular use.
