About:
Story Newton for Hyde railway station, serves the Newton area of Hyde in Greater Manchester, England. Newton for Hyde is 7+1/2mi east of Manchester Piccadilly station and managed by Northern Rail. The station unusually features both a covered subway underneath the platforms and a larger viaduct tunnel accessible from both sides, meaning there are 2 ways to cross platforms. The station is raised on the viaduct.HistoryThe station was opened by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway as "Newton and Hyde" in 1841, however the station signage referred to the station as just plain "Newton". Trains originally ran from Manchester to Sheffield on the Woodhead Line. The line was electrified in 1953 and closed to passengers between Hadfield and Penistone in 1970. Following the privatisation of train services in 1997, the route was operated by First North Western until 2004 and then Northern, whose franchise was extended until February 2016. The official name on tickets is "Newton for Hyde" to avoid confusion with Newton (South Lanarkshire) and from July 2007 new signage was installed with the legend 'Newton For Hyde'.
