Transport
There are two railway lines that serve places in the Oldham borough; one is the main line service running between Huddersfield and Manchester, with Greenfield railway station the only station served by this line in the borough. The other line is the main line service running between Bradford and Manchester via Halifax and Rochdale, with Mills Hill railway station the only station in Oldham served.
A former railway line, the Oldham Loop Line has been converted to operate Manchester Metrolink tram services. Metrolink currently serves Oldham Mumps, Freehold, South Chadderton, Hollinwood and Failsworth with Freehold and South Chadderton stops purposely built for Metrolink. Derker and Shaw and Crompton stops will be served by Metrolink once the line to Rochdale railway station opens.
There are many bus services running in the Oldham borough. The main bus operator is First Greater Manchester, whose HQ is based in Oldham at Wallshaw Street, which is located at Oldham Mumps Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
