Railway Hotel, Knottingley

The Railway is found on the corner of Pontefract Road and the approach road to Knottingley Railway Station. The bar on the rear wall that faces the entrance was populated by a boisterous crowd of local fifty-somethings and their dogs. There was no sign of real ale, but a generic selection of standard keg products was available from the friendly barmaid during my Monday afternoon visit last week. A couple of flat screen televisions were airing muted Sky Sports and some background music was emanating from the jukebox. There are a few seating areas around the pub and around to the left rear of the bar is a pool table, dartboard and projector screen. Out the back are some picnic tables and a large car park.
