Train station returning to Cheadle after more than 100 years
Überblick
Work is beginning on a new train station in the Greater Manchester village of Cheadle, more than a century after its original station closed in 1917. Although funding was approved in 2022 and planning permission granted in 2023, the project faced delays due to network timetabling concerns. These issues have now been resolved following an assessment by Network Rail and Northern Trains, allowing initial highways work to begin on the site near Alexandra Hospital.
