Trains to Glossop - Station Details and further Information on Glossop Train Services
Glossop train station serves the town of Glossop in Derbyshire, England and is the busier of the twin termini at the Derbyshire end of the Manchester to Glossop Line, the other being Hadfield station.
The station is 14½ miles east of Manchester Piccadilly station. Along with nearby Derbyshire stations at Hadfield and Dinting, Glossop is considered to be part of the Greater Manchester rail network as it lies only a short distance over the border and also the line does not go any further into Derbyshire. For that reason the station signs at Glossop feature the GMPTE logo, ticketing is the same as in Greater Manchester and the station features on the GMPTE rail network map
There is generally a half-hourly daytime service from Glossop to Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield. This is increased to every 20 minutes in the morning and evening rush-hour periods. Trains operate hourly in the evenings and half-hourly on Sundays. When there is engineering work on Sundays, the replacement bus service only operates hourly. All passenger services are operated by Northern Rail on the route from Manchester Piccadilly to Glossop and Hadfield.
Glossop station is the busiest on the line from Manchester Piccadilly (excluding Piccadilly itself). The ticket office is open seven days a week. Outside the station building, on Norfolk Street, is a small car park. The town's main bus stop and taxi rank are located 30 yards from the station entrance, on Henry Street. The former station hotel is now the George Hotel, located on the other side of Norfolk Street from the station. Also very close by are the Star and Norfolk Arms public houses. |
