Cheadle Railway Station

A new single-platform railway station is being built beside Alexandra Hospital on the Mid-Cheshire line, restoring passenger rail access to Cheadle.[1]

Current position

Stockport Council announced on 29 September 2026 that highway and trial-hole works were starting that week after rail-timetabling issues were resolved.

Benefits

The station is intended to connect Cheadle directly with Stockport, Manchester Piccadilly and Chester and improve access to jobs, education and services.
