Navigation Road railway station serves the Broadheath area of Altrincham in Greater Manchester, England. The station also serves as a Manchester Metrolink station. Trains run down only one of the two tracks and trams down the other.
There are level crossings at both ends of the station.
History
The station originally opened on 20 July 1931 on the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) following the electrification of that line, and was referred to as Navigation Road (Altrincham) on early tickets, timetables, etc. British Rail electric trains between Manchester and Altrincham ceased serving the station on 24 December 1991. The former Altrincham-bound (down) platform has since been used for Mid-Cheshire Line trains and the former Manchester-bound (up) platform reopened as a Metrolink stop on 15 June 1992.
