Moston railway station
Moston railway station in Moston, Manchester, England, is 4 miles (6 km) north of Manchester Victoria on the Caldervale Line managed by Northern. Moston station opened in February 1872. It is on Hollinwood Avenue, in New Moston, and is unstaffed, the station buildings having been demolished in the late 1990s. Tickets must be purchased on the train.
Services
On Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is now a half-hourly service in operation here once again. Train operator Arriva Rail North (under the brand name Northern) had committed to reinstate the 30-minute frequency as part of its successful 2015 franchise bid. Previous operator Serco-Abellio had cut the off-peak frequency here to hourly in May 2014. Northbound trains now run to Rochdale, where connections are available for stations further afield, and southbound trains run to Manchester Victoria and thence to Bolton, Blackburn and Clitheroe (alternate trains only). On Sundays the Southport - Wigan Wallgate - Manchester - Blackburn service calls hourly each way.
