The station was opened by the London & North Western Railway in 1909; it was first known asGatley for Cheadle, before being renamedGatley on 6 May 1974.
The station is on theA560 Gatley Road and has a car park. The ticket office and waiting room, on the Manchester-bound platform, are only open in the morning.

In 2018,Northern by Arriva introduced ticket machines, which are on the northbound platform and at the bottom of the ramp for the southbound platform.

When theStyal line was electrified in 1960, there was half-hourly electric service (Monday - Saturday) betweenManchester Oxford Road andAlderley Edge operated by AM4 (Class 304) EMUs. Services were extended toAltrincham, when the M&SJR was re-electrified at 25 kV AC in 1971, and operated in this way until the line between Altrincham and Cornbrook Junction was transferred to Manchester Metrolink in 1990.
When Manchester Airport railway station opened in 1993, the Monday to Saturday service pattern was 2 trains per hour toManchester Piccadilly. 2 trains per hour operated in the opposite direction - one to Manchester Airport and the other continued ontoCrewe until 17:00, then terminated at Wilmslow in the evening. Sunday services consisted of 1 train per hour to Manchester Airport, with one service every 2 hours continuing to Alderley Edge and 1 train an hour to Manchester Piccadilly.
As of December 2022, the Monday to Saturday off-peak service is three trains per hour southbound toManchester Airport with one southbound train per hour continuing toCrewe viaWilmslow, and three northbound services toManchester Piccadilly (two stopping, one fast), with one continuing toLiverpool Lime Street viaNewton-le-Willows and one continuing toBarrow-in-Furness orWindermere.
On Sundays, the northbound services toBarrow-in-Furness/Windermere andManchester Piccadilly are replaced byTransPennine Express services betweenManchester Airport andSaltburn, giving 2 trains per hour during the day. The southbound stopping service terminates atWilmslow instead ofCrewe on Sundays.[3]
