Heaton Chapel railway station serves the Heaton Chapel and Heaton Moor districts of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is 4+12 miles (7.2 km) 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.[1]

Facilities

[edit]

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.[2]

In May 2016, the roof collapsed onto the stairs of the Manchester-bound platform.[3] 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
