Burnage railway station

Burnage railway station serves the suburb of Burnage in south Manchester, England. It is a stop on the Styal Line between Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Airport and Wilmslow. It caters mainly for commuter traffic, with regular services between Crewe, Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly.

History


The station was opened in 1910.

The line was electrified at 25 kV AC overhead in 1959, during the modernisation of the line as part of the wider West Coast Main Line electrification programme.

From May 2018, services operated on a 'skip-stop' basis at irregular intervals to increase capacity on the line. As a designated Northern Connect stop, a direct express service to Blackpool North, via Chorley, was introduced as part of this timetable change. This was replaced by calls on services between Windermere/Barrow-in-Furness and Manchester Airport running via Wigan North Western as part of the December 2019 timetable change.
