December 1889 | Station opened |
2 April 1951 | Station closed |
The station was open for the use by passengers between 1889 and 1951[2] when it was closed and was subsequently demolished.[3] Although all traces of the station have now been removed, the site remains an active operational location, as the Mid-Cheshire Line passenger trains from Manchester via Stockport and Altrincham join the main Chester - Warrington (Bank Quay) - Manchester Piccadilly line at this point and Mickle Trafford signal box remains in use to work the junction between the two routes.
