Hayfield railway station was the terminus of a three-mile-long branch from New Mills Central, opened to passengers on 1 March 1868. The branch and station became the joint property of the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (later Great Central) and the Midland Railway. It remained a joint station, latterly owned by the LNER and LMSR, until nationalisation of the railways in 1948.^[1]

The branch was subsequently assigned to the London Midland Region. Introduction of diesel multiple unit trains led to an improvement in passenger services, and by the 1960s there was an hourly frequency to and from Manchester (Piccadilly), with some additional trains at peak times. Unlike some neighbouring lines the station also enjoyed an hourly Sunday service, popular with walkers.

In common with most other branch lines goods traffic dwindled after the Second World War, and services were withdrawn from the station on 15 April 1963. Passenger traffic continued until withdrawn on 5 January 1970.^[2]
