Trains are to run from Cheadle for the first time since the 1960s after proposals for a new railway station were given the green light.
Stockport council’s planning committee nodded through the £9m station when it met last night (December 15), despite 45 public objections.
Bankrolled by the government’s flagship ‘Town’s Fund’, the stop will be on the Chester to Manchester line next to the Alexandra Hospital and just 100m from Cheadle High Street. Plans for the station - set to open in 2025 - include a single platform with covered shelters, car and cycle parking, passenger drop off facilities and electric vehicle charging points.
