Bollington railway station was a railway station serving the town of Bollington in Cheshire, England. It was opened in 1869 by the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway (MB&M) - a joint line constructed and operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L) and North Staffordshire Railways (NSR). The passenger station was on the north side of Grimshaw Lane, with a goods yard on the south side.
Initially services ran between Шаблон:Rws and Marple,Шаблон:Sfnp but this was soon extended so that direct trains ran between Macclesfield and Manchester London Road.Шаблон:Sfnp A number of additional services were supplied between Bollington and Macclesfield, as a significant number of Macclesfield workers lived in Bollington. In 1921, there were 14 additional shuttle services between the two towns using a petrol railcar purchased by the Great Central Railway (GCR) (successor to the MS&L) and nicknamed the "Bollington Bug".Шаблон:Sfnp The Bug was replaced in 1935 by a Sentinel steam railcar that ran the shuttle service, until it was withdrawn at the start of 1939.Шаблон:Sfnp
The station buildings were built to NSR designs, as were most other structures on the MB&M,Шаблон:Sfnp while most train services were operated by the MS&L and later the GCR.Шаблон:Sfnp An exception to this being the NSR Summer Saturday services between Macclesfield and Шаблон:Rws.Шаблон:Sfnp
The station closed in January 1970, along with the line between Macclesfield and Marple; the buildings were demolished and the track was lifted by the end of 1971.Шаблон:Sfnp The trackbed now forms part of the Middlewood Way, a recreational path between Macclesfield and Marple. Part of the goods station site provides a car park for the path.[1]
