Godley railway station serves the Godley area of Hyde, Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. It is 8½ miles (14 km) east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Manchester-Glossop Line.
It was built to replace the original Godley Junction station. It is placed above a bridge, hence the narrow platforms. Unlike most stations built on the line (with the exception of Flowery Field), it is built on wooden stilts, unlike the stone platforms built for the Woodhead Line.
Services
There is a half-hourly daily service to Manchester Piccadilly and Hadfield,[1] with an hourly service on evenings.
Additionally the 17:26 service from Hadfield to Piccadilly is the only service not to call at Godley, which only calls at Dinting, Broadbottom, Hattersley, Newton for Hyde, Flowery Field, Guide Bridge, Ashburys and Piccadilly.[2]
The station is unstaffed and does not have customer help points.[3]
