Dukinfield and Ashton railway station served Dukinfield in Greater Manchester, England.
The line through the station site opened in August 1893 when the London and North Western Railway (L&NWR) opened the Stalybridge junction line from a new junction just south of Dukinfield station on the Great Central Railway to Stalybridge, thereby providing its own route to Stalybridge from Denton Junction.[1][2]
The station was built at high level on a viaduct as it passed through Dukinfield. The station was opened on 2 October 1893.[3]
Access to the platforms was via an entrance in Cooper Street and ascending a staircase inside one of viaduct pillars.[citation needed]
The station was closed on 25 September 1950.[3]
The goods yard, called just Dukinfield, was to the south-west of the passenger station, it had a goods shed and a 10 ton crane, it closed on 30 January 1965.[4][5][6]
The line closed completely on 1 January 1968.[7]
