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

The station is on the Styal Line, opened in 1909 by the London & North Western Railway, between Gatley 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 and TransPennine Express and there are regular services to Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport with some services continuing to Wilmslow and Crewe.

Services

Northern operate two services each hour between Piccadilly and Manchester Airport each weekday (plus rush hour extras) and an hourly service between Crewe and Manchester Piccadilly via Manchester Airport[2] - and one TPE service serving Heald Green, one between Manchester Airport and Cleethorpes via Stockport and Sheffield; the one between Manchester Airport and Blackpool North via Chorley and Preston formerly run by TPE was transferred to Northern from 1 April 2016.[3]

On Sundays, there is an hourly service each way, with two-hourly extensions southbound to Alderley Edge.
