I like this station. It's small, so only two platforms. It has a self service ticket machine, so…read moreyou can buy or print out a ticket purchased online at any time. It is close to a lot of places in Buxton like the Cavendish Shopping Arcade, the Devonshire Dome, and the Pavilion Gardens. Inside the ticket office, you will find lots of brochures for activities in and around Buxton and the Peak District. There is also a vending machine that sells chocolate bars, crisps and drinks. If you're a train enthusiast, there is a replica of and information about the Buxton railway and trains. Just beware that you may have to climb up the hill if you're trying to reach the Market Place and your B&B which may be on the other side of this hill.

Since my last review here in April 2016, this station seems to have improved and considering it…read moreserves a small town, it is a pretty good station. I like how they have ramped access between each Platform, rather than lifts which I find can often be slow, smelly and overcrowded in such stations. The station is managed by Northern Trains but is still served by Transport for Wales and Avanti West Coast. Near enough every service goes into Manchester Piccadilly, other destinations here include Crewe, London and Cardiff. The station doesn't have much in terms of facilities but it is in the town centre where there are nearby newsagents including a decent-sized Waitrose supermarket just around the corner. The station has Amazon Lockers right by the entrance which is handy. I didn't see any ticket gates at the station, so hopefully, they do check tickets elsewhere, I'm not sure if it's because of COVID reasons but no one checked my ticket here or on my recent journey to Manchester. 3* - Good local station but limited in terms of facilities, many stations with more facilities nearby including Crewe and Stockport, even Manchester.

At complete odds with the bustling mess that is Manchester Piccadilly, Wilmslow Railway Station…read moretypifies what its like to catch a train from one of the quieter towns in the North West. Wilmslow station has just three or four platforms, and a small set of tunnels allowing you access to each platform. Don't think that it's so small that you can get by without getting a ticket though! For most of the time during the day there are a couple of guards by the entrance. Annoying if you're trying to dodge a fare (never me) but really useful if you need to quickly grab a ticket because you're running ridiculously late (always me). If you're heading up to Manchester from Wilmslow, try to avoid getting an airport train, as it takes ages! Much better are the Virgin trains, which only stop at Stockport before hitting Manchester Piccadilly.

Manchester Airports railway station is located inside the airport, just a lift up to the coach…read morestation and a short walk to all the terminals. Here you can board the metrolink now, on the blue line which goes up to Cornbrook, from there you can go near enough any stop what is run by the metrolink network. Trains also run from this location to Middlesbrough, Glasgow and Manchester Piccadily, even Liverpool and Leeds runs a direct train from here. The train takes 25 minutes to Piccadily which calls through East Didsbury and Gatley, the train works out much quicker as it would take 55 minutes to get to Piccadily on the metrolink, which includes a change at Cornbrook and doesn't include the waiting time expected there. Ticket inspectors seem to get on and off at this station from my experiance today. It is quite a quiet station and only something you would use when going to the airport really, it does not have any faciltieis close by apart from in arrivals and that is abit of a walk away. Toilets are avaliable here, I did only notice a ladies toilet but they is both genders around the corner near the National Express coach station. This railway station is just what you would expect from a big place like Manchester, with metrolink and rail links and they is shops and resturants, although few a short walk away but you don't want to be going there if you are not visiting the airport. for a Venue - Airport hub this is good however if it was supposed to be a major station then it could command 1 star but I feel 2 is fair. It would be nice if they was a newsagents or cafe in the station, to get the things you had forgot to get in the airport. UPDATE: This station just seems to far away from other terminals, for example being a good 10 minute walk away from Terminal 2 to the point where I can't really understand it, I understand they can't put this directly in the Terminal as there are three large terminals at Manchester too, but people travel to Airports with bags, and it just is too hard to get off the train and then find your Terminal from there and perhaps a service for holidaymakers to get help to the Terminal would be much better, rather than having too many staff who simply can't, so for now I sadly feel this station deserves a single one star in this update - Also this station serves at nothing more than getting you to and from the Airport and there is a lack of facilities until you get to the Airport anyway.

Handforth Station is quite a nice, smaller station in Cheshire East, it is quite a small station,…read moreoperated by Northern Railway who seem to be the only company to pass through the station. During the day, it is served by 2 trains per hour in each direction on the routes from Aldery Edge to Manchester Piccadilly and between Crewe and Manchester. This station opened in 1842, and they do seem to show a bit of history on their Southbound platform, with older signs including signs with DLR, and Underground on it, which are a little strange as this station isn't in London, and does not have those services. This station also has volunteers to make this station nicer, "The Friends of Handforth Station" were formed in 1996 and work on a lot of projects here such as including signs from other railway operators from other countries and London, and working on a station garden, as I only used the Southbound platform, with the unusual signage on, I didn't notice anything special about the gardens. This is only a small local station, mainly used to get into Manchester, Crewe or any smaller cities around that, the train doesn't really have many facilities but with it being a local station with an average of 0.2 million visitors or so each year, there probably isn't a huge demand for it, but this store is okay, yet below average so does not warrant anything over than a 2 star rating.
