Welcome to the Glossop train tickets and fares page.

>> BeeNetwork tap `n` go comes to the Glossop line from December 2026. <<

For local journeys between Glossop & Manchester, you will be able to tap in and out in the same way that you can do with trams now. If you remember to use the same bank card or transfer for all bus, tram & train journeys that you make, you will only be charged once for all your journeys, and TfGM will only charge the best/cheapest fare based on your tapping info.

The range of fares on the Glossop line are relatively simple. Being simple does mean that the cheapest options are not always available. There are however a range of options for groups of people together, those wishing to buy a series of journeys in one go, or wanting to travel in a geographic area. Adult fares are shown below for Hadfield, Dinting & Glossop to Manchester Central stations.. Although the fares are the same, you must still have a ticket for the correct station, for the purpose of ticket checking. Most of the options are listed below.

"Off Peak" times apply to all rail & tram options. Peak times, when these operations cannot be used, are before 0930, and between 1530 & 1830. This also applies on Public Holidays.

All Glossop-Manchester return tickets are for 1 day. You can only buy an "open" return, valid up to a month, for long distance journeys.

TfGM tickets listed below can only be used by adults within Glossopdale.
