Broadley railway station served Broadley in Rochdale, England, from 1870 until closure in 1947.

The station was opened on 1 November 1870 when the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) opened the Template:Rws to Template:Rws section of its line to Template:Rws.Template:Sfn

It was situated on the western side of the railway where it was crossed by Station Road, to the west of Broadley village.[1]

The station had one platform on the western side of the line accessed by a footbridge adjacent to the road overbridge. There were two wooden buildings on the platform with a signal box between them.[1][2]

There was a passing loop at the station and a two siding goods yard on the opposite side of the line accessed from Station Road, it was equipped with a five ton crane.Template:Sfn

By 1929 the station buildings had been replaced with the new hip-roofed wooden building relocated further north along the platform. The signal box had also been replaced with the new box still further north of the station building.[2][3]Template:Sfn

The station closed to passengers on 16 June 1947, initially as a temporary measure due to a fuel crisis, but the station never re-opened and the closure was confirmed as permanent in 1949.Template:Sfn The station closed to goods traffic on 12 August 1963 when the line was closed.Template:Sfn
