Greenfield railway station serves the village of Greenfield, in the Saddleworth parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England. Managed by Northern Rail, it lies on the Huddersfield Line 20 km (13 miles) northeast of Manchester Victoria and is the final station within Greater Manchester before crossing the West Yorkshire boundary. First opened by the "Huddersfield & Manchester Railway" in 1848, it became the junction for branch lines to Oldham and Delph the following year. Passenger services on both branches were withdrawn in April 1955, with complete closure following in 1963/4. The defunct bay once used by Oldham trains can still be seen at the Stalybridge end of the station.
