Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road |
The station sits on the Styal Line to Manchester Airport, one of the congested lines on the national rail network.[1] Historically it has been served by a half-hourly service to Manchester Airport/Crewe and Manchester Piccadilly.
Since May 2018 services operate on a 'skip-stop' basis at irregular intervals to increase capacity on the line. As a designated Northern Connect stop, a direct express service to Blackpool North via Chorley was introduced as part of this timetable change. This was replaced by calls on services between Windermere/Barrow-in-Furness and Manchester Airport running via Wigan North Western as part of the December 2019 timetable change.
The current Monday to Saturday service is a roughly half hourly service to Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly, with one southbound train per hour continuing to Crewe via Wilmslow. Northbound services continue to Liverpool Lime Street or Barrow-in-Furness/Windermere via Preston.[2]
On Sundays, Burnage is served by one train per hour in each direction to Wilmslow via Manchester Airport, and Liverpool Lime Street via Manchester Piccadilly. Services between Barrow-in-Furness/Windermere and Manchester Airport still run but do not call at Burnage, instead calling at East Didsbury.
