Woodsmoor railway station serves the suburb of Stockport in Greater Manchester. The station is on the Buxton line and is one of the newest stations on the network, having been opened in 1990. The station has a ticket office staffed at certain hours and a ticket machine.
The area has a rich history spanning hundreds of years, which visitors will enjoy exploring. Woodsmoore started life as a grand house built on former farmland in the 19th century. The house has become Stockport Grammar School and the estate surrounding it has developed into the suburb, the area still dotted with grand, old trees. A disused golf course on the former Mirrlees Blackstone Engineering site links Woodsmoor with neighbouring Stepping Hill Hospital and Hazel Grove village.
The station is cared for by Woodsmoor Station Friends, formed in 2016 to work with the community and Network Rail. We aim to improve the station environment and facilities to create a vibrant social focus for the many commuters and travellers who catch trains every day from Woodsmoor Station.
