Newton for Hyde railway station, serves the Newton area of Hyde in Greater Manchester, England. Newton for Hyde is Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). east of Manchester Piccadilly station and managed by Northern Rail.[1] The station unusually features both a covered subway underneath the platforms and a larger viaduct tunnel accessible from both sides, meaning there are 2 ways to cross platforms. The station is raised on the viaduct.[2]

History

The station was opened by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway as "Newton and Hyde" in 1841, however the station signage referred to the station as just plain "Newton". Trains originally ran from Manchester[3] to Sheffield[4] on the Woodhead Line. The line was electrified in 1953 and closed to passengers between Hadfield and Penistone in 1970.[5] Following the privatization of train services in 1997, the route was operated by First North Western until 2004 and then Northern,[6] whose franchise was extended until February 2016.[7] The official name on tickets is "Newton for Hyde" to avoid confusion with Newton (South Lanarkshire) and from July 2007 new signage was installed with the legend 'Newton For Hyde'.

Services

There is generally a half-hourly daily service Monday to Sunday daytimes to Manchester Piccadilly westbound and Hadfield eastbound with an hourly evening service in each direction. Early morning, late evening and rush hour services start or terminate at Glossop.[8]

A half-hourly service operates on Sundays.

Buses do not run directly to or from the station, but the 346 bus (from Ashton-Under-Lyne to Hyde) runs 100m north-east of the westbound platforms.[9]
