[1] The station was located close to the Hyde and Mottram Road and was sometimes referred to as Godley Toll Bar.

[2][3] The station, which was named Godley Junction,[1][4] had four platform faces: two on the Manchester line and two on the CLC route.

[citation needed] The station and sidings were controlled by a single mechanical signal box which was located at the east end of the 'up' (Hadfield) platform.

[7] Nearby, Manchester City Council erected high-rise housing estates which were served by a newly opened station at Hattersley.

Those on the Hadfield line are fenced off and the remains of the other platforms are visible from the shared-use path which now runs along the former trackbed from Apethorne Junction.

The turntable pit is still in existence and remains in remarkably good condition and free of debris.
