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:
“Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“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)
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
