Produktbeschreibung

Cheadle Hulme railway station is an open triangular railway station serving Cheadle Hulme in Greater Manchester. It is located on the West Coast Main Line and is included in Network Rail Route 20. The station is in Cheadle Hulme's District Centre and is operated by Northern Rail. Cheadle Hulme's first railway station opened in 1842, when the Manchester and Birmingham Railway to Crewe was completed. With the extension of the line to Macclesfield, a new station opened in 1845 which has served the area since. The railway had a major impact on the area, transforming it from a collection of small hamlets into a suburb of over 29,000 people. The station remains an important part of the community, and is regularly discussed in local community meetings. It is staffed part-time; there are no facilities other than waiting rooms and the ticket office, and the closest station with more facilities is Stockport. According to an employee of Northern Rail, pedestrian access to the station will be improved in 2009 with new lifts, a footbridge, and new steps, although as of January 2010 this is yet to occur.
