Local name
LocationManchester city centre, UK

The Styal line is a suburban commuter railway line which runs through south Manchester, England; it commences at Slade Lane Junction, 1.2 miles south of Manchester Piccadilly, and ends 12 miles south at Wilmslow.

Opened in 1909, by the London and North Western Railway company, it takes its name from the Cheshire station of Styal, the last stop before the junction at Wilmslow. A branch line to Manchester Airport was built in 1993, accessed via a triangular junction between Heald Green and Styal; it is also referred to as the Airport line.Journeys into Manchester on the line have risen sharply since the 1990s and the opening of Manchester Airport railway station in 1993 fuelled an increase in express services from Northern England and beyond.
