Heald Green railway station serves the suburb of Heald Green in Stockport, England.
It is located on the Styal Line, which was opened in 1909 by the London & North Western Railway. The station is located between Gatley and Wilmslow. To the south of the station is Heald Green Junction, a triangular junction for the branch to Manchester Airport.
This two-platform station is used by Northern Rail and First TransPennine Express for regular services between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport services, some of which call only at Heald Green; others continue to Wilmslow and Crewe.
There is a small car park adjacent to the station.
Famous quotes containing the words green, railway and/or station:
“Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
end;
For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
