Sometimes known as the ‘Gateway to Cheshire’, Handforth has a centrally located train station which benefits from two trains an hour to Manchester via Stockport. Friends of Handforth Station are highly regarded in the world of community rail, and have won numerous awards for their work in making the station a more attractive place. Handforth is home to several employers, including Halcrow and Taylor Young.

The National Trust run Quarry Bank Mill and Styal Country Park can be reached from the station by an easy mile and a half walk.

Handforth now has an improved southbound service from Manchester with better timings.
