Return of railway station to town after 60-year wait 'tantalisingly close'

Plans for a town to have its own railway station for the first time since the mid-1960s has been described as "tantalisingly close".

The proposals for Cheadle are now set to be reviewed by the government after Stockport Council's cabinet signed off the £9m scheme.

The project is the largest of three schemes bankrolled by the government’s Town’s Fund.
