    A small train station with limited facilities, but still serving the town well,…read more Macclesfield Railway Station is managed by Avanti West Coast (It is on the London-Manchester line via Stoke on-Trent), other services through here are operated by CrossCountry or Northern, most services do go within Cheshire and Stoke on-Trent, with many others extending to the likes of Manchester, Birmingham, Oxford, London and Reading. I'm not sure what's going on with the timetable but they seemed to have 3 trains per clock hour (for example between 16:00 and 16:59) all in the space of 20 minutes, I get when the services start and finish at different destinations it can be hard, but this just seemed rather odd, as if you plan to get the last train of the three, you'd have a long wait for another compared to if you missed one of the first two. The staff seemed friendly enough at the station and happy to help, that's pretty common with Avanti anyway who are doing a good job at running the WCML. The station was clean, there were limited ticket facilities (manned ticket desk, but limited ticket machines to pick-up tickets and I didn't notice any ticket barriers) Buses do serve the station from outside, I do think better signage into the town centre is required as I ended up getting lost on my first visit, and it is pretty easy to do the same even with GPS. 3*

    Staff this morning are abrupt and could not be considered friendly. One ticket seller looked at me…read moreand said 'hello'. I stepped forward, she then said wait until I call you forward. Other one had been to same charm school. It used to be better than this. And far too busy, smoking on the platform in uniform no one on the platform at all before the train comes in.

    The annoying thing about this station was that I rushed to get the train because it was supposed to…read morebe leaving in a minute but then ended up being delayed for fifteen, which if I knew I would have got out and had a look around the station for a bit. Anyway, this station is on the route through to Liverpool and it seems that some of the Liverpool trains, like the one that I was on, terminate here. It's rather fancy mind you, but then again a lot of stations in England are like that.

    Manchester Oxford Road deserves an upgrade, while for many it can become an annoying stop, just two…read moreminutes after Manchester Piccadilly, it does provide good access to Oxford Road, just a couple of minute's away from St Peter's Square, where there are the Central Library and Metrolink services, and is also close to the Universities and student area of the city. The staff do seem friendly, and while the facilities within the station are minimal (there is a tiny Costa with no seating area), it is ample, especially considering there is a large Sainsbury's Local, right outside on Whitworth Street. The hill going up to the station is a little steep, and it does seem to be a common area for homeless people, it could be lit better in the dark for sure. The same could apply for the subway which connects the platforms. 3* - Decent station, it might not compare to Piccadilly and Victoria but it isn't too bad.
