Middlewood railway station serves the villages of High Lane in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester, and Middlewood, near Poynton in the Cheshire East district of England.
The construction and opening of the station was concurrent with the construction and opening of the adjacent Middlewood Higher station on the Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway to provide an interchange for passengers wishing to travel between Macclesfield and Buxton with the two stations linked by a flight of steps.
[2] Originally called Middlewood for Norbury, the station was renamed three times.
[1] In July 2009, Poynton Town Council announced their intention to install a bicycle rack and improve signage in and around the station, partly funded with the aid of a grant from the High Peak and Hope Valley Community Rail Partnership.
These improvements were implemented, along with the installation of additional lighting, a new PA system and a Hearing Induction Loop.
