The canopy at Oldham Mumps station was going to be scrapped as part of the station's transformation into a Metrolink tram stop, but it is now going to be bought by the East Lancashire Railway (ELR), which hopes to refurbish it to install at Bury Bolton Street station.

It is unclear yet what will survive the Metrolink conversion at Oldham Mumps. The long term plan, if funding can be found, is to bypass the station altogether by street running through the town centre. View north as 142060 leaves for Shaw and Crompton.

By 2008 the Oldham Mumps track layout had been simplified to a basic two lines, albeit still controlled by semaphores. However, a substantial island station remained, accessed by a subway. 142060 is departing for Shaw and Crompton. After closure in 2009 everything seen here was cleared away and a temporary tram stop opened in 2012 pending completion of the street running section in Oldham Town Centre.
