Romiley railway station serves Romiley, in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.
It was built by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway on its extension to New Mills , opening in 1862 from Manchester.
Built above street level, its platforms extending over the B6104 road, it has a spiral staircase which once had a glass-roofed dome. The booking hall and offices is on the first floor, with a subway and stairs to the platforms. Trains arrive from both Marple on the Sheffield line, and Marple Rose Hill.
Immediately beyond Romiley, the line splits three ways. Initially it ran through to Woodley to join the original MS&L line at Hyde Junction. In 1875 a more direct route was opened through Reddish. A further branch led to Stockport Tiviot (or Teviot) Dale.
