Derker railway station was a railway station on the Oldham Loop Line, and was managed by Northern Rail at the time of closure in 2009. It was originally opened on 30 August 1985 to replace Royton Junction station, ½ mile further along the line. The station closed on 3 October 2009 for the conversion of the line to Metrolink and will re-open as Derker Metrolink station in 2012.
