The Oldham Loop Line was a suburban-line in Greater Manchester, England, used by trains that ran from Manchester Victoria to Rochdale via Oldham Mumps. Services on the line at the time of its closure were operated by Northern Rail.
The line closed on 3 October 2009[1] for conversion during 2009–2012 to light rail use for Metrolink services;[2][3] the route now carries trams and is known as the Oldham and Rochdale Line (ORL).[4]
