Glossop station is the busiest on the line from Manchester Piccadilly (excluding Piccadilly itself). The ticket office is open seven days a week (Monday - Saturday 06:25 - 19:40, Sunday 10:00 - 17:30). Outside the station building, on Norfolk Street, is a small car park. The town's main bus stop and taxi rank are located 30 yards from the station entrance, on Henry Street. The former station hotel is now the "George Hotel", located on the other side of Norfolk Street from the station. Also very close by are the "Star" and "Norfolk Arms" public houses.
