Miles Platting railway station served the district of Miles Platting in Manchester from 1844 until closure on 27 May 1995.^[1] The station was opened on 1 January 1844 by the Manchester and Leeds Railway;^[2] after amalgamating with other railways, this became the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1847.^[3] The station was situated at the junction of the lines to Stalybridge (opened 1846^[4]) and Rochdale (opened 1839^[5]), and had platforms on both routes. Little trace remains of the station today, as the platforms were removed and the buildings demolished after closure. However, a length of platform awning has been re-erected at Ramsbottom station on the preserved East Lancs Railway.
