Mauldeth Road railway station (known as Mauldeth Road for Withington until 1974) is a suburban railway station serving the Ladybarn area of Manchester, England. It is the last station before Manchester Piccadilly on the Styal Line and was electrified in 1959.
The station is primarily served by a half-hourly Northern service which alternates between Manchester Airport and Crewe. Some peak TransPennine Express services, a number of the Northern services between Southport and Manchester Airport and hourly freight trains from Trafford Park also pass the station.
The station opened in 1909 south of Longsight (Slade Lane Junction) as Mauldeth Road for Withington, being renamed Mauldeth Road on 6 May 1974, and now serves the Manchester-Crewe (via Manchester Airport) rail route, used by Northern for stopping services to Manchester Airport. Its coal sidings closed in the 1960s, along with its original platform buildings on the up (southbound) side.
The remaining wooden ticket office on the down side burned down on Bonfire Night in 1986; thereafter the ticket office was a small prefabricated unit at the bottom of the station approach.
It caters mainly for commuter traffic, being electrified at 25kV AC overhead, and is used by EMU traffic. Some evening services are operated by TransPennine Express with DMUs.
