Tottington Railway station served the town of Tottington in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury from 1882 until the line closed for passengers in 1952 and freight in 1963.

History

The Bury and Tottington District Railway opened from a junction to the north of Bury to a terminus at Holcombe Brook on 6 November 1882. Among the original stations was that at Tottington, situated 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) from Bury.[1]

The station closed when passenger services were withdrawn from the Holcombe Brook line on 5 May 1952; goods trains continued to serve Tottington until 19 August 1963.[2][3]
