Broadheath (Altrincham) railway station

An extension from Broadheath to meet the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR) was opened on 1 May 1854.

Parliamentary approval was obtained by the W&S for an extension to Stockport, but financial problems meant that this was never completed.

[7] From 1854 onwards, the LNWR operated local passenger trains from Liverpool Lime Street and Warrington Arpley, through Broadheath to Manchester.

The journey took between 25 and 33 minutes, depending on the number of intermediate stations served by the specific train.

Trains to Liverpool Lime Street took ninety minutes with up to fifteen intermediate stops.
