[1] The station buildings were built to NSR designs, as were most other structures on the MB&M,[2] while train services were operated by the MS&L (later the Great Central Railway).

[3] Much of the goods revenue for the station came from the coal mines and, when these closed in the 1920s, the track on the spur leading off the line to the collieries was lifted.

[5] During the Second World War, the signal box at Higher Poynton was only operational as required for shunting; most of the time, it remained shut saving the need to employ three signalmen.

[6] The station closed in January 1970, along with the line between Macclesfield and Rose Hill Marple; the buildings were demolished and the track was lifted by the end of spring 1971.

The trackbed now forms part of the Middlewood Way, a shared-use path between Macclesfield and Manchester; it was opened by David Bellamy in 1985.
