Last week of the 15 minute service. For many years Shaw and Crompton has enjoyed a four trains per hour service to Manchester, two of which run fast only stopping at Oldham Mumps. However, October 2008 that will change to a half hourly stopping service as work continues in preparation for conversion to Metrolink. View towards Manchester as a four car Sprinter waits to go forward to Oldham and another Sprinter draws forward onto the single line section to Rochdale.
