Hyde Road railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyde Road was a railway station in Gorton, Manchester, England, on the Fallowfield Line. It opened in 1892 and closed in 1958 when local passenger services on the line stopped.[1][2] The station was sometimes advertised as Hyde Road for Belle Vue, that is, convenient for Belle Vue Zoo, about one mile away.[2] The track closed completely in 1988 and the track was taken up. The station has long since been demolished, and as of 2007 the site remains unused. The line of the track is used as a cycleway.
