Rochdale railway station serves the town of Rochdale in Greater Manchester, England. The Manchester and Leeds Railway opened a station serving the town in the 19th century. The station was built, for reasons of economy of building and operation, some distance to the South (and up a steep hill) from the town centre.
The station is on the Oldham Loop Line and the Caldervale Line and is managed by Northern Rail. They also operate all train services from Rochdale.
The station was formerly much larger than today, serving a line to Bolton and another to Bacup as well as the lines still in existence. Passengers now walk through a subway and climb stairs to the main concourse which includes a ticket office and snack bar.
