Middlewood Higher railway station

Middlewood Higher was a railway station located near to the village of High Lane in Cheshire (now in Greater Manchester), England.

The station owed its existence to the desire to create an interchange between the MB&M and the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) route between Stockport and Buxton.

In 1955, part of the down platform (towards Manchester London Road) and the waiting shelter were lost when the embankment collapsed.

As the usage of the station was low, replacing the lost section was considered uneconomic and reconstruction was not carried out.

[6] When all of the MB&M closed in January 1970, the track was lifted, although the bridge across the Buxton line remains.
