Moston station becoming derelict
By February 1989, the main building's rendering had disappeared and the waiting room had had all breakables removed, effectively leaving a brick-lined space. In terminal decline.

View north from Nuthurst Road bridge 1977
A train from Leeds to Manchester Victoria (despite the destination shown) has recently left Moston station. The line runs in a deep cutting from Hollinwood Avenue to Nuthurst Road passing under a pipe bridge in the middle distance which carries Manchester's drinking water supply from Thirlmere to Audenshaw Reservoir. Prior to 1973, Moston Junction signalbox was located immediately left of the train's front cab. The top right-hand view is dominated by Chadderton electricity generating station and its cooling towers.

Moston railway station, Greater Manchester, 2009
Opened in 1879 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on its line from Manchester Victoria to Rochdale. View south towards Manchester in deceptively verdant surroundings, some 8 years before the platform shelters were replaced. See Image for a 2019 view in the opposite direction.

Moston station, looking north
View north from Moston station's Manchester-bound platform, taken around 15.00 on a very wet April 9th, 2008. First bridge is Hollinwood Avenue (A6104); the second is the M60 motorway. Pylon visible through the bridge effectively marks the site of the former Chadderton electricity generating station, now Broadway business park.

Moston station, looking north 1989
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.
