Trains to Rose Hill Marple - Station Details and further Information on Rose Hill Marple Train Services
Rose Hill Marple train station is one of two stations serving Marple, in the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, the other being Marple railway station. It is the terminus of a spur of the Hope Valley Line, with services to Manchester Piccadilly calling at Romiley, Woodley, Hyde Central, Hyde North, Guide Bridge, Fairfield and Ashburys. The station is one of the three which provide access to the Middlewood Way.
Monday to Saturday daytimes there is an hourly service to Manchester Piccadilly via Hyde, with a few peak period additional trains. The evening service from the station is limited (just two departures after 19.15 in the 20008/9 timetable) and there is no Sunday service.
Though the station is closer to Marple town centre and has a highly-populated residential catchment area, since the cut-back of services from two to one per hour, many travellers favour the alternative Marple train station on Brabyn's Brow for its more generous timetable of three trains per hour on weekdays, provided due to its onward connections to New Mills Central and Sheffield.
Return tickets to and from Rose Hill Marple and Marple railway stations are priced identically and allowed to be interchangeable by train operating company Northern Rail, allowing, for example, a passenger with a return ticket to Manchester Piccadilly from Rose Hill Marple to return instead to the nearby Marple station. |
