The station is located 13 km (8¼ miles) west of Manchester Victoria with regular Northern Rail services to these towns as well as Salford , Swinton and Hindley . One of the more popular stations on the line (according to Strategic Rail Authority figures), the station was formerly known as ''"Walkden High Level"'' to differentiate it from Walkden Low Level station (on the line from Manchester Exchange to Bolton Great Moor Street, which was closed to passengers in 1954) In February 2007 the Friends of Walkden Station community volunteer group was founded to campaign for improvements to the station's facilities and services. SERVICE Monday to Saturday daytimes, two trains per hour go southbound towards Manchester Victoria and Rochdale and two per hour towards Wigan Wallgate (hourly onwards to Southport and Kirkby respectively) northbound. Evenings there is an hourly service in each direction to Manchester Victoria and Wigan. There is no service all day Sundays. EXTERNAL LINKS
