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 (MB&MR).
The station was opened in August 1869 by the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway (MB&M), which was a joint line constructed and operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&L) and North Staffordshire Railway (NSR).[2]
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.[3]
The station closed in January 1970, along with the entirety of the MB&M. The track was lifted in the following year.[2]
