High Lane railway station served the village of High Lane in Greater Manchester, England. It was a stop on the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway.
It was opened in 1869 by the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway (MB&M) - a joint line constructed and operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L) and North Staffordshire Railways (NSR).
Like the other stations on the MB&M, the station buildings and signalling were provided by the NSR and train services by the MS&L.[2]
The station closed in January 1970, along with the entirety of the MB&M. The track was lifted in the following year.
The trackbed now forms part of the Middlewood Way, a shared-use path between Macclesfield and Rose Hill Marple.[3]
