Heald Green railway station serves the suburb of Heald Green in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England.

The station is on the Styal line, opened in 1909 by the London & North Western Railway, between Slade Lane Junction (north of Mauldeth Road) and Wilmslow. To the south of the station is Heald Green Junction, a triangular junction for the branch to Manchester Airport.[1]

This two-platform station is used by Northern Trains; there are regular services to Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport, with some services continuing to Wilmslow and Crewe.

Station facilities

Heald Green has a ticket office on platform 1, which is open Monday-Saturday 06:15-19:30. Ticket vending machines are in place on both platforms for purchase of tickets or promise to pay coupons, for when the ticket office is closed and for the collection of pre-paid tickets.

Both platforms have waiting shelters with metal seating, with platform one having a station building which includes a small waiting room, ticket office and timetables. Both platforms have electronic departure boards and automated audio announcements. Interchange between platforms requires crossing over the road bridge at the north end of the station.

Services

The basic Monday to Saturday off-peak service comprises three trains per hour southbound to Manchester Airport, of which one continues to Crewe; there are three trains per hour northbound to Manchester Piccadilly, one of which is fast and continues to Blackpool North, and one of which continues to Liverpool Lime Street via Newton-le-Willows.

On Sundays, there is an hourly stopping service between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Airport, which is extended to terminate at Wilmslow and the Manchester Piccadilly to Crewe stopping service does not run. A generally hourly service runs to Blackpool North, with some irregular supplementary services to Barrow-in-Furness and Windermere via Chorley.[2]
