Trafford Park railway station is in Trafford Park, to the north of Stretford in the Trafford Metropolitan Borough of Greater Manchester in the northwest of England. The station, and all services calling there, are operated by Northern.
The station was opened on 4 January 1904 by the Cheshire Lines Committee. Originally named Trafford Park, it was later renamed Trafford Park and Stretford but reverted to Trafford Park on 6 May 1974.
The station building, at street level, is now used as an office by a taxi company. The platforms are elevated, have shelters on each side and are reached by stepped ramps (so no step-free access available). The station is unstaffed and has no ticketing facilities. Timetable posters and a telephone provide train running information.
Services run every two hours in each direction off-peak, towards Humphrey Park and Liverpool Lime Street to the west and towards Deansgate and Manchester Oxford Road in the east. Extra half-hourly services call at this station during the peak-hours, however there is no Sunday service.
Oxford Road can be reached in 7 minutes and Liverpool Lime Street in 56 minutes.
