About Us

We are people living in the vicinity of Styal with a desire to see a viable future for Styal railway station.

We are a "Friends" group for the station.  The local rail operator, Northern Rail, is progressive in this respect and encourages community engagement.

Initial aims:

  • Campaigning for a restoration of rail services to facilitate a commute to/from Manchester and to/from Wilmslow and Alderley Edge High Schools.
  • Seeking an increase in rail services to serve the community, visitor attractions and HMP Styal. from 2009.
  • Enhancing the appearance of the station (Styal themed signs, flowers).
  • Provision of a station community notice board.
  • Provision of real-time information screens on each platform.

 

This website gives information about Styal station over the past 99 years and advises you on how to get involved.
