Oldham Werneth railway station is a small railway station on the Oldham Loop Line, 10 km (6ΒΌ miles) north east of Manchester Victoria. The station is situated on Featherstall Road South, Werneth, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England.
It predominantly serves local Chadderton, Westwood and Werneth residents. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern Rail.
The station was built originally to serve the Platt Bros. of Oldham, a huge cotton spinning engineering company, whom had their headquarters in Werneth. However, this company no longer exists.
It has been proposed that this station be closed and replaced with an extension of the Metrolink system.
It is served every half-hour towards Manchester Victoria southbound and Rochdale northbound on Monday to Saturdays. In the evenings and on Sundays there is an hourly service in each direction.
