Handforth railway station is in the village of Handforth in Cheshire, England. Opened in 1842, it is on the Crewe to Manchester Line. HistoryThe station opened on 10 May 1842. The northbound ("down") platform was approximately {{convert|82|yd|m}} north of its current location. Since opening, the station has served commuters to Manchester. Since electrification of the line in 1960, trains through the station have been mainly electric multiple units (EMU). ServicesFrom Monday to Saturday in the day, Handforth is served by one EMU and one DMU service per hour in each direction, one between Alderley Edge and Manchester Piccadilly (which continues to {{rws|Bolton}} and {{rws|Wigan North Western}} and is diesel worked) and the other between Crewe and Manchester (with peak period extras). This becomes an hourly service in the evening from Crewe to Manchester.[1] On Sundays there is an hourly service to both Manchester and to Crewe. Friends of Handforth StationThe Friends of Handforth Station, formed in 1996, are an active station adoption group who have carried out a number of projects at the station, including a station garden, sculptures, poetry and signs from railway operators in other countries. The group works towards securing easier platform access for disabled passengers and those with prams, bikes etc. References1. ^{{NRtimes|May 2018|84}} Further reading
