Plans for Rochdale railway station and the surrounding area to go out to consultation Date published: 10 February 2021 How Rochdale's new 'Station Square' could look Proposals which could totally transform the area around Rochdale railway station are set to go out to public consultation this month, as the council progesses its rail strategy plans. The proposals include the removal of traffic immediately in front of the station to make way for a brand new ‘Station Square’, the creation of a 500 space park and ride facility and bus interchange on Miall Street, behind the station, and the provision of new housing and employment space.
