We Need You!
Help Us Secure Improved Rail Services
Why Do We Need more Rail Services?
Styal saw its rail service decrease from a half-hourly frequency in the mid-1990's to a skeletal 1-2 trains each way in 2007.
Traffic in Styal, on the B5166 Styal Road/Hollin Lane, gets busier but public transport is limited to an hourly bus to/from Manchester Airport/Wilmslow (No.200).
The railway station has a major tourist attraction (Styal Country Park/Quarry Bank Mill) on its doorstep plus one of the UK's largest female prisons.
We have successfuly campaigned to get 3 trains per day Monday-Saturday as of December 2008 and Sunday services from 17 May 2009.
However your voice will help to see services develop further - especially on Saturdays.
