History
The Styal line was opened in 1909 by the London & North Western Railway, between the Slade Lane Junction (north of Mauldeth Road) and Wilmslow.
To the south of the station is Heald Green Junction, a triangular junction for the branch to Manchester Airport which opened in 1993.[1]

Heald Green has a ticket office on platform 1. Ticket vending machines are in place on both platforms for purchase of tickets or promise to pay coupons, for when the ticket office is closed and for the collection of pre-paid tickets.[2]
Both platforms have waiting shelters with metal seating, electronic departure boards and automated audio announcements.
