The station opened on 1 November 1862[1] on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) line between Oldham Clegg Street and Greenfield, the bulk of which had been open since 1856. It replaced the LNWR's original terminus at Oldham Mumps which closed the same day.[1]
The station closed on 2 May 1955,[1] when the Delph Donkey passenger train service to Delph via Greenfield was withdrawn. The line remained open for goods traffic until 1964.
gollark: I mean... yes, but ææææ?
gollark: It would be limited to 100ms of CPU per event or something, but you could have people trigger events and such too much.
gollark: Actually, hmm, people could maliciously invoke it a lot, but I suppose they would have to give it money so I'm not sure that's an awful issue.
gollark: So the "contract" would basically be a sandboxed bit of code which can be triggered on events, which is publicly viewable/auditable, and which can send and be sent krist.
gollark: Maybe I should try and clarify the exact model of this a bit, hm.
