Congleton railway station is a mainline station serving the Cheshire town of Congleton. It lies on the Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent branch of the West Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom. HistoryThe line from Stoke to Congleton was opened on 9 October 1848, with Congleton station opening on the same day and owned by the North Staffordshire Railway. In early privatisation, Virgin Trains served the station every two hours during the day, Monday to Saturday, as was agreed by Virgin Trains to prevent increased use of the line by stopping services. Until 2003, Congleton was served Monday to Friday by around 19 local stopping services, which consisted of approximately 11 southbound services (one starting from Macclesfield) and nine trains northbound (some semi-fast). The number of local services operating on Saturday varied but remained similar that on weekdays; three trains each way operated on Sunday. All those local services were operated by North Western trains, latterly known as First North Western. From 2003 to 2008, there were seven trains a day Monday to Friday, three southbound (one from Macclesfield only) and four northbound (one semi-fast). On Saturdays, there were two trains southbound (one from Macclesfield only) and 2 trains northbound. On Sundays, there were three trains in each direction, operated by Northern Rail from 2004. Additionally Virgin Trains (CrossCountry from 2007) operated increased services Monday to Saturday to Stockport, Manchester Piccadilly, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham New Street. Brighton, Reading, Guildford, Gatwick Airport and London (Euston). Current ServicesThe station is managed by Northern, which operate an hourly service pattern to Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester Piccadilly Monday to Saturday.[2] Also, CrossCountry operate a limited service at peak times to Manchester Piccadilly and Bournemouth. On Sundays, there is a reduced service of six trains in each direction throughout the day. The station is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ticket office is only open Monday to Saturday: 06:30-13:40, however there are two ticket machines. The station also has car parking spaces (£3 per day), CIS screens (Installed December 2018) and a help point. Congleton was supposed to gain hourly Sunday services to Blackpool North and Stoke-on-Trent in May 2018 (A Northern franchise commitment since December 2017), although these services were delayed at least until December 2019. Congleton also lost 1 peak service on Monday-Friday in each direction to/from Manchester in May 2018. Congleton lost another peak service on Monday-Friday southbound in December 2018. A later train from Manchester on weekdays was added however, leaving Manchester at 22:18.
