Mickle Trafford railway station was a station on the Birkenhead Joint Railway in Mickle Trafford, Cheshire. [1]
The station was open for the use by passengers between 1889 and 1951 [2] when it was closed and was subsequently demolished. [3] Although all traces of the station have now been removed, the site remains an active operational location, as the Mid-Cheshire Line passenger trains from Manchester via Stockport and Altrincham join the main Chester - Warrington (Bank Quay) - Manchester Piccadilly line at this point and Mickle Trafford signal box remains in use to work the junction between the two routes.
