The line was built by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company and was completed on 10 August 1842. Goostrey station was added by the London & North Western Railway, opening on 1 September 1891.
A photo of a keystone on the platform, at the foot of a mast, showed the MBR coat of arms and an inscription, MBR 1844 G. W. Buck Engineer.[2] In 1958, it had been removed from the Manchester side of the road bridge at the station, when it was rebuilt to provide clearance for the electric wires; the keystone on the Crewe side showed W. Baker as engineer, but was broken when it was removed.[3]
Northern Trains provides an hourly service between Manchester Piccadilly, Stockport and Crewe.[4]
