Heaton Chapel railway station

1

Heaton Chapel railway station serves the Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor districts of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is 4+1/2 mi south of Manchester Piccadilly towards Stockport. It opened as Heaton Chapel & Heaton Moor in 1852 by the London & North Western Railway. It was renamed Heaton Chapel by British Rail on 6 May 1974.

Facilities

The station has a ticket office, which is closed at weekends; access to the Manchester-bound platform is only then possible via a ramp from Tatton Road South. In May 2016, the roof collapsed onto the stairs of the Manchester-bound platform. This resulted in the stairs being closed on both platforms, leaving access only via long ramps to the platforms. The roof has now been repaired and reinstated.

Services

On Mondays to Saturdays, Heaton Chapel is typically served by the following Northern Trains services: On Sundays, the service is reduced to one train per hour towards Buxton and an irregular service towards Manchester Piccadilly.
