Woodley railway station serves the Woodley area of Stockport in Greater Manchester, England. The station is 15 km (9¼ miles) east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Hope Valley Line service to Rose Hill Marple. It was opened in 1862 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway and later became a junction when a line from Stockport Tiviot Dale (The Stockport and Woodley Junction Railway) reached the town in 1865. The station subsequently became jointly owned and operated by the MS&L, Great Northern Railway and Midland Railway as part of the Cheshire Lines Committee system.[1] The Stockport route closed to passengers in January 1967,[2] although a short section at the eastern end remains in use for goods traffic (serving a Tarmac stone terminal and waste recycling plant at Bredbury).
