[edit] History
The original station opened in 1839 before the completion of the branches to Middleton and Oldham, and closed in 1842 when these were opened. The current station opened in 1985 at the same point as the original
[edit] Services
On Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service to Manchester Victoria and beyond southbound and Rochdale northbound.
In the evenings and on Sundays there is an hourly service to Manchester Victoria and beyond Rochdale to Leeds on the Caldervale Line
[edit] Future plans from December 2008
Northern Rail have proposed changes to the Caldervale line services from December 2008. Three trains per hour will run between Leeds and Manchester Victoria - one will be the current stopping service, one will go via Dewsbury and Brighouse, and include stops at Moston, Mills Hill and Castleton, and one will be a limited stop service - between Bradford and Manchester the service will only call at Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Rochdale. This limited stop service will bring the journey time down between these two cities to less than one hour.
