Dinting railway station serves the village of Dinting near Glossop in Derbyshire, England. The station is on the Manchester-Glossop Line 20 km (12¼ miles) east of Manchester Piccadilly.

An earlier station had been opened as "Glossop" by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway in 1842, but was renamed when the Glossop branch opened in 1845. In 1847 a temporary "Glossop Junction" station was built, on the site of which the present station was built in 1848.

Most services use platform 2 of Dinting station as trains go from there to both Glossop and Hadfield eastbound and Manchester Piccadilly westbound. Only direct services to and from Hadfield use platform 1.

Dinting is considered to be part of the GMPTE rail network being only a short distance from the administrative boundary, the same is for Glossop and Hadfield stations. This means that ticketing such as rail rangers, season tickets and integrated multi-mode ticketing is the same as Greater Manchester rather than Derbyshire. Derbyshire County Council's Derbyshire Wayfarer ticket is not valid on trains on the Glossop Line, however it can be used on buses in the area.

[edit] Services

There is generally a half-hourly daily daytime service from Dinting to Manchester Piccadilly and Glossop/Hadfield. Though some peak journeys go direct to Hadfield missing out Glossop.

Trains operate hourly evenings and Sundays in each direction.
