Fairfield railway station serves the Fairfield area of Droylsden, Tameside, Greater Manchester and is 5 km (3.5 miles) east of Manchester Piccadilly station. It was opened by the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway in 1841

The station has two platforms, however at one stage the station actually had six with two lines on either side of the current railway track, with the current two platforms operated as island platforms. This configuration was unusual as nearby stations on the line were actually built with four lines - two for local trains and two for express services. Remnants of the closed platforms can still be seen.
