Swinton (Manchester) Railway Station

Facts and Figures

Swinton railway station serves the town of Swinton and Pendlebury in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England.

Swinton is one of the local stations that lie on the Manchester to Southport Line between Wigan and Manchester. The station is located 5 miles 4 chains (8.1 km) west of Manchester Victoria with regular Northern Rail services to these towns as well as Salford, Atherton and Hindley, with onward trains to Wigan, Kirkby (weekends only) and Southport. It opened along with the line to passenger trains in 1889

Although the station is in the City of Salford, rather than Manchester, the name "Swinton (Manchester)" is used by National Rail to refer to the station (to avoid confusion with Swinton railway station in South Yorkshire). The station is actually located in Pendlebury and not Swinton itself, the boundary between the two districts being about 40 yards further down Station Road (B5231), beyond the junction with Boundary Road and nearer the town centre.

Swinton railway station has relatively basic facilities. For example, the ticket office is only open until 2pm, after this time one must purchase tickets on board the train. A screen in the booking hall lists live departure times of the trains showing any delays or cancellations, and screens are also now installed in the centre of the island platform showing live train departure information to commuters waiting on the platforms. An intercom type unit is also installed on the platform which passengers can use in the event of an emergency or if they need help or information when the station is unstaffed.
