Bredbury railway station serves the town of Bredbury in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. It is a stop on the Hope Valley line between Manchester Piccadilly, New Mills Central and Sheffield.
History
It was built by the Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee in 1875, on the line between New Mills Central and Manchester London Road (since renamed Piccadilly).
The station was modernised in 1976; the buildings on the eastbound side were replaced and the platforms were raised, with the result that the old waiting room on the Manchester side is three steps lower down. The original stationmaster's house survives, as does the 1916 footbridge.
Facilities
The ticket office on the eastbound side is staffed through the day on weekdays (06:20-20:50) and on Saturdays until early afternoon (07:20-14:20). Outside of these times, tickets must be bought on the train, prior to travel or on-line.
Waiting shelters are present on each platform and train running details are offered via automated announcements, digital information screens and timetable posters. No step-free access is available; the ramp from the car park to the ticket hall has steps, as does the footbridge.[1]
Service
There are generally two trains per hour northbound to Manchester Piccadilly and two southbound towards New Mills Central, with hourly extensions to Sheffield. On Sundays, there is an hourly service between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield.[2][3]
