- Ashton Park Parade (Ashton-under-Lyne) railway station
Ashton Park Parade railway station was a station on the line between Guide Bridge and Stalybridge in Greater Manchester. This station served the town of Ashton-under-Lyne, now served only by Ashton Charlestown, north of this former station.
History
Ashton Park Parade station was located on the site of what is now Ashton's Park Parade Bypass. The station had two platforms, with the main station buildings on the down platform. There was also a signal box just to the east of the station.

Present Day
No remains of the former station are evident, however the railway line is still open; Transpennine Express services between Liverpool/Manchester and the North East still run through the site of the old station, as does the once-weekly 'parliamentary' service between Stockport and Stalybridge. The only clue of its existence is "The Station Inn", a pub on Warrington Street, nearby the former station.
