New Hey station on the former Oldham Loop railway has been demolished for the conversion of the line to Manchester Metrolink. Until its closure this station was listed as New Hey. The village was also recorded as New Hey in ordnance survey maps until at least the 1960s. However, over the years local usage as converted the name to Newhey and this is what the replacement Metrolink station will be known as.
