By 1989 New Moston was an area in rapid decline. Moston station echoed that decline with reduced facilities and an increasingly derelict appearance. The weather had to be truly atrocious to make one use the breeze block shelter on the Rochdale platform. An absence of tall chimneys over the brow of Hollinwood Avenue bridge indicates that Chadderton power station has been demolished.
