The train station was named as the least used in the entire country
Walking down lonely steps to the platform, there's everything you'd expect of a small Victorian-era station. Except a train turning up any time soon.
The line is strategically important to the wider rail network, providing options for freight trains as well as an alternative route in case of a blockage between Stockport and Manchester. Gorton and Denton MP Andrew Gwynne said: “Denton station to most people in Denton is neither use nor ornament in its current configuration. But there are ambitious opportunities to link Denton and Reddish South to the wider convocation under the mayor’s plan for tram-trains.
Geoffrey Chapman used to hop on the train every day to go to work in Stockport. Back in his day there were hourly services from Denton. The Friends of Reddish South Station group has now taken on the task of fighting for both stops. They remain adamant there is a bright future for the stations that run on the only line that runs south from Manchester Victoria.
