Urmston railway station is a railway station serving the town of Urmston in Greater Manchester, England. It is 5+1⁄2 miles (8.9 km) west of Manchester Oxford Road on the Manchester-Liverpool Line. It is managed by Northern Trains.
History
The station was opened by the Cheshire Lines Committee on 2 September 1873.
Facilities
A new building on the Manchester-bound platform houses the ticket office and a waiting room. The main station building on the Liverpool-bound platform was disused for many years in the 1990s, but was re-opened as a pub/restaurant in June 2008. The station is staffed part-time (06:15 to 12:45 weekdays, 07:00 to 13:30 Saturdays, closed Sundays) - outside these times, tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. Train running details are provided by telephone, automated announcements and timetable posters. Step-free access is available to both platforms.
