A new purpose-built ticket office, funded by Network Rail, was constructed in summer 2013 and was opened in October 2013.

[8] In March 2017, the old railway bridge over Mauldeth Road, dating from when the line opened in 1909, had become life-expired and was replaced.

As part of the May 2018 timetable change, the Styal Line to the Airport operated on a skip-stop basis to free up additional capacity for express trains.

Not all services stopped at the four other commuter stations on the Styal Line (Burnage, East Didsbury, Gatley and Heald Green), as has been the case historically.

Following a sustained fall in patronage between 2017 and 2021, attributed to the introduction of irregular calling patterns and increased unreliability following the 2018 timetable recast, in Mauldeth Road reverted to a service similar to pre-2018 timetable December 2022, with an even half-hourly service.

Six-car Classes 195 and 331 can call at Mauldeth Road, due to automatic selective door operation (ASDO); however, the southbound platform extension will allow two Class 323 units (which do not possess ASDO) to call at Mauldeth Road and double seating capacity on the service.
