 However, due to funding problems and repeated project cancellations, the line extension remained unused for seven years.Although the station lies next to the Calder Valley railway line between Victoria and Rochdale (at the northern end of the old "Cheetham Hill Loop" line built by the L&YR in 1877 to avoid the notorious Miles Platting bank, which closed in 1998), there is no interchange with National Rail services.However, it is possible that railway platforms may be added in future.
