Trains to Greenfield - Station Details and further Information on Greenfield Train Services
Greenfield train station serves the village of Greenfield, in the Saddleworth parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. Managed by Northern Rail, it lies on the Huddersfield Line 13 miles northeast of Manchester Victoria and is the final station within Greater Manchester before crossing the West Yorkshire boundary. First opened by the Huddersfield & Manchester Railway in 1848, it became the junction for the branch line to Oldham the following year. Passenger services on the branch were withdrawn in May 1955, with complete closure following in 1964. A defunct bay can still be seen at the Stalybridge end of the station. This was used by some trains from the Oldham direction.
From Monday to Saturday, Greenfield is served by an hourly Northern Rail service from Manchester Victoria station to Huddersfield station, with some additional service in the peaks. There is also an hourly Sunday service each way since the 2008-9 timetable came into effect.
The more frequent TransPennine Express service, from Manchester Piccadilly station and points west to Huddersfield station and points east, passes through Greenfield without stopping.
Greenfield train station has seen a recent refurbishment of it's facilies including an all new ticket office, refurbished waiting areas, toilets, and the introduction of a small shop. |
