Services
As of December 2022, Heaton Chapel is served by one Northern Trains service per hour from each of Crewe, Alderley Edge, Buxton and Hazel Grove to Manchester Piccadilly.[2] On Sundays the service is reduced to 1 train per hour between Buxton and Manchester Piccadilly.
The station has a ticket office, which is closed at weekends. When this is closed, access to the Manchester-bound platform is only possible via a ramp from Tatton Road South.[3]
In May 2016, the roof collapsed onto the stairs of the Manchester-bound platform.[4] This resulted in the stairs being closed on both platforms, leaving access only via long ramps to the platforms. The roof has now been repaired and reinstated.
