the Beeching Cuts in 1968, the station's services were drastically reduced to just a handful of journeys to Manchester and Huddersfield during peak times only, in line with the other local stations on the Huddersfield Line at the time. From 1991 however a new improved hourly service in each direction was introduced, with hourly trains to Manchester Victoria calling at all stations as well as to Huddersfield. Despite managing the station, Northern Trains do not provide any service to or from this station. Since the May 2018 timetable change, TransPennine Express provide the regular stopping service here (hourly each way to Huddersfield and to Manchester Piccadilly). There are also no direct trains to Manchester Victoria, so passengers wishing to travel there must change at . Other TPE services pass through without stopping. As of 2019, during peak times there is an additional TPE stopping train per hour which runs to Hull, with most of the hourly evening trains also running to Hull. The station is also handy for the nearby reservoirs of Dovestones, and Chew as well as the whole of Chew Valley in the Peak District National Park. Since the closure of the Oldham Loop Line in 2009, Greenfield is now the only remaining railway station within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham. Future The Transpennine route through the station is being modernised and upgraded over the course of three Control Periods extending beyond 2029 . It is planned as part of the upgrade that electrification of the line through the station will occur.
