Rail provides onward transport for much of north Manchester's unrecyclable waste to landfill sites. The trains are known colloquially as "Binliners", a play on the name of the original 1960s nationalised container transport enterprise, Freightliner. The line alongside the depot runs from Manchester to Oldham and Rochdale.
