Seedley
(1882 - 1956)
By the 1880s the Liverpool and Manchester route had been quadrupled between Patricroft and Manchester Exchange and there had been westward-spreading urban development in what is now known as the City of Salford
To cater for the development around Seedley a station was opened on May 1 1882
The station was located on the west side of Langworthy Road which passed over the railway on a bridge. The main entrance was at street level on the north side of the line. It consisted of a neat timber building with a hipped roof and 2 tall square chimneystacks at each end and the entrance was sheltered by an awning
Covered steps and a footbridge connected three platforms to the entrance building. One of the platforms was an island with 2 faces which enabled all four tracks to be served
On each platform there were passenger facilities including waiting rooms and toilets which were housed in austere timber buildings, but awnings of generous dimensions stretched to the platform edges
The December 1895 timetable showed 38 up and down trains Monday to Saturday calling at the station
By 1947 the timetable showed ten up and five down services on Monday to Saturday with concentrations around the peak hours. No trains called at Seedley on Sunday
With such a poor level of service Seedley was proposed for closure and all services were withdrawn from January 2 1956. The station was demolished shortly after and only sections of retaining wall on the south side of the line remained to show where the station had been
