Proposed future developments

There have been repeated plans for a half-hourly service in each direction, as part of the 2015 franchise agreement; [13] however, this has been delayed due to capacity constraints between Stockport and Manchester and, as of January 2022, is yet to be implemented. [14]

As part of Northern's proposed December 2022 timetable, which focused on additional services within the Manchester area, an additional two trains per day in each direction between Chester and Stockport have been proposed during peak hours. These services are aimed at those who are commuting to and/or working in Manchester and Stockport; it would increase the number of trains to 20 per day in each direction. [15] [16]
