Tags: Railway Line.
The Styal Line is a railway line in south Manchester and north-east Cheshire. It runs from Slade Lane Junction some 2 km south of Manchester Piccadilly to Wilmslow. There also is a spur to Manchester Airport. The line is an early commuter line running through many suburban stations. It was electrified in 1959 as part of the West Coast Main Line electrification scheme but most of the trains now using the line are diesel powered.
