That was pretty unusual to open a new station on the same site, but following such a long period of time without one

Nowhere near as long in time as the original Mills Hill railway station on the border between Middleton and Oldham which closed on 11th August 1842 and it was decided to eventually reopen the station on exactly the same station site on 25th March 1985.....almost 143 years later!!!
