*RCH RJD 32 1912. N.B. The RCH map shows Droylsden as two separate stations. In practice they were effectively one station, especially so under subsequent LMS and BR ownership, with separate branch platforms for the Denton/Stockport line. Hence the station is not listed under this section as closing. Droylsden closed completely from 07/10/1968 - RPSGB.
