Mossley railway station serves the town of Mossley, Greater Manchester, England. It lies on the Huddersfield Line 9.9 miles (16 km) north-east of Manchester Victoria and is managed by Northern.
The station is a small, two-platform station, with the only on-site services being a ticket office that is staffed during peak times. Disabled access to the station is limited, with wheelchair provision only being made for the Huddersfield to Manchester platform. As the Manchester to Huddersfield platform is accessible through a single staircase, disabled passengers often find it easier to travel on to Huddersfield and then disembark at Mossley on the opposite platform when the train makes its return journey.
Mossley is served by an hourly Northern service from Manchester Victoria station to Huddersfield station throughout the week, including Sundays, with some additional services during weekday peak hours. A few services are extended to/from Leeds eastbound and to Wigan Wallgate or Southport westbound.
The more frequent TransPennine Express service, from Manchester Piccadilly station, passes through Mossley without stopping.
Steam locomotive 777 Sir Lamiel passes through the station in 1983.
A First TransPennine Express Class 185 passes through the station.
