Horwich Parkway is a railway station serving the town of Horwich and the western area of Bolton, in Greater Manchester, England. The station is 26 km (16¼ miles) north west of Manchester Piccadilly on the Manchester to Preston commuter line.
Rail services are operated by Northern Rail, who operate the station, and TransPennine Express. Horwich Parkway opened on July 2 1999 and is the only railway station owned by GMPTE although Northern Rail are contracted to manage it.
Horwich Parkway is the station for the Reebok Stadium, home of Bolton Wanderers F.C., and the Middlebrook shopping and leisure complex.
Passengers visiting Horwich itself should be aware that the town centre of Horwich is in fact much closer to Blackrod, the next station on the line.
The station is close to Junction 6 of the M61 motorway which adds to its convenience as a park and ride railway station.
