Location (red dot) within Stockport's historical rail network
It was opened by the Stockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway on 1 March 1858, as a result of a complaint from Colonel William Davenport, a local landowner, that the company had not honoured its initial promise to provide a station at Bramhall Lane (which was, at that time, just outside the boundary of Stockport Borough). A small passenger station was opened and named Davenport. Trade was slight and it closed in September 1859, to be reopened on 1 January 1862.
The station in the 1870s
Davenport station has been typically served by trains on the Buxton line betweem Manchester Piccadilly and Buxton. However, through running north of Manchester has operated on services at times during the early 21st century. It ceased temporarily as part of a major timetable change in May 2018; resumed in May 2019 with an hourly service running from Hazel Grove to Blackpool North, and running was stopped again in December 2022.
Facilitiesedit
The station has a ticket office at street level, which is staffed in the mornings through until early afternoon, six days per week (closed all day Sunday). At all other times, tickets must be bought on the train or prior to travel. Waiting shelters are provided at platform level on each side, whilst train running information is offered by means of CIS displays and timetable posters. No step-free access is available to either platform, as each one is linked to the ticket office and road via staircases.[1]
Serviceedit
Two Northern Trains services per hour operate northbound to Manchester Piccadilly and southbound to Hazel Grove during Monday to Saturday daytimes, with one train per hour continuing to Buxton. Sunday services operate hourly in each direction between Manchester Piccadilly and Buxton.[2]
