Hi all,

Please could someone give me a list of the staffed stations in the Greater Manchester Rail Ranger boundary please? I'm not allowed to go to any unstaffed stations in Manchester when I'm there tomorrow because Dad won't be able to answer the phone tomorrow. Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Some stations are only staffed for part of the day, such as Walkden which is staffed until 12.40 (at least that's when the ticket office closes).

Stations staffed until at least 6pm include Stockport, Manchester Airport, Salford Crescent, both Wigans, Bolton, Rochdale, Stalybridge and Ashton under Lyne.

From experience, Davenport, Woodsmoor (I'm 99% sure on this one) and Hazel Grove are staffed for at least some part of the day, as is Swinton (I'm assuming Atherton too in a similar vain to Walkden)

Lostock should be staffed for at least part of the day, and Horwich Parkway is staffed.

Littleborough is staffed until 1415 on Saturday. Moston, Mills Hill, Castleton and Smithy Bridge are sadly unstaffed so you basically just have Rochdale and Littleborough on that line.

That said, you're not missing much with Moston, I scratched it on a dark night in November, not recommended ;)

Thanks! I'll probably go out to Rochdale for the tram back in (do you know how far it is between heavy rail station and Metrolink?) and possibly the same with Ashton (again, how far from Heavy rail to Metro?)

Thanks again!

Rochdale, Metrolink stop outside the station (not the terminus).

Ashton, from the map about 250m.

Thanks! I might give Rochdale a go then but probably leave Ashton for another day.
