Partington railway station was situated on the Cheshire Lines Committee route between Warrington and Stockport.

[3] The construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, which was to cross the line between Partington and Cadishead, meant that the railway had to be raised by 43 feet (13 m) in order to give a 75-foot (23 m) clearance for shipping.

A new line, parallel to the old but slightly to the south-west, was built on embankments formed using the soil excavated from the new canal, and included the new Cadishead Viaduct.

[3] After closure the station buildings were demolished but as in 2024 the platforms were still in situ amongst an overgrown abandoned site.
