Moorgate railway station (Greater Manchester)

Moorgate Halt railway station was opened on 1 January 1912 on the London and North Western Railway route from Stalybridge to Huddersfield. The station was only ever served by trains from Oldham to Delph via Greenfield. The station closed on 2 May 1955 when this service, known locally as the Delph Donkey, was withdrawn. The location of Moorgate Halt is now marked by a foot crossing over the railway at Uppermill, although no trace of the station remains. Nearby can be seen the foundations of Delph Junction signal box, where trains used to receive the token giving them authorisation to enter the single line section to Delph. The Transpennine Route Upgrade project has called for the foot crossing to be closed and the footpath diverted. In July 2025 campaigners formed a group, Friends of Moorgate Halt, to call for a bridge to be provided in place of the level crossing, claiming that the proposed alternative route is longer, hazardous and difficult to negotiate.
