Glossop railway station serves the Pennine market town of Glossop in Derbyshire, England. Glossop is the third busiest railway station in the county of Derbyshire after Derby and Chesterfield. It is estimated 956,000 people used the station in 2013/14. The station is east of Manchester Piccadilly station, and is the terminus of the Glossop Line. Together with nearby Derbyshire stations at Hadfield and Dinting, Glossop is considered to be part of the Greater Manchester rail network as it lies only a short distance over the county boundary and the line goes no further into Derbyshire. For that reason the station signs at Glossop feature the TfGM logo, and the station features on the TfGM rail network map.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greater Manchester Rail Network )〕 However, Greater Manchester concessionary fares do not apply to passengers travelling from Glossop, Dinting or Hadfield.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Greater Manchester Concessionary Fare Map )〕 ==History== Henry Howard, 13th Duke of Norfolk built the spur line from Dinting viaduct to Howard Town at his own expense over his own land. He then sold it to the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway. The station was opened on 9 June 1845 to goods traffic; the formal opening was on 30 June 1845 – it was attended by some of the SA&MR Directors, and passenger traffic began immediately afterward. There was a previous station called Glossop on the main line but that was renamed "Dinting" with the opening of the Glossop station on the branch. The new station was originally named ''Glossop'', and was renamed ''Glossop Central'' on 10 July 1922, reverting to ''Glossop'' on 6 May 1974. Originally built with multiple platforms, the station was reduced to one platform in the 1980s. Double-ended electric multiple units arriving from Manchester Piccadilly reverse to proceed to Hadfield, and vice versa. The other platforms and redundant station buildings were incorporated into an extension for the next door Co-op supermarket and car park, now owned by The Co-operative Group. The station is now a Grade II Listed building and a blue plaque was unveiled in 2006.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glossop railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
