Reddish North is one of two railway stations serving the suburb ofReddish inStockport,England; the other isReddish South. It is a stop on theHope Valley Line betweenManchester Piccadilly andSheffield.
It was built by theSheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee in 1875, on the line betweenNew Mills Central andManchester London Road (nowPiccadilly station).
As a joint venture of theManchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway and theMidland Railway, it was a shorter route than the earlier-built line throughHyde Junction. It was used by the Midland railway's main line expresses fromLondon St Pancras until 1880, when they began running viaStockport Tiviot Dale intoManchester Central.
Originally named simplyReddish, it becameReddish North in 1951. Some of the original buildings have disappeared over time. The original station yard, withgoods shed, is intact (though without rails) and is currently used by a timber merchant. Although the original mileposts along this section were maintained by theGreat Central Railway, the mileages are measured fromRowsley on theMidland Railway line, contrary to the latter's normal practice of measuring from St Pancras.
The station retains its ticket office, which is staffed on weekdays all day (06:30-21:00) and on Saturday until early afternoon (07:20-14:30). Outside of these times, tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. There is a waiting shelter on platform 2, along with bench seating. Train running information is supplied via CIS screens, timetable posters and automated announcements. Step-free access is only available on the Manchester-bound platform (1), as the only access to platform 2 is via a stepped footbridge.[1]
The current off-peak service in trains per hour is:[2]
On Sundays, there is an hourly service between Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield.
All services that stop at Reddish North are operated byNorthern Trains, usingClass 150,156 and195diesel multiple units.
