Station Message
Arriving by car? The upper station car park at Macclesfield station is currently closed as part of the upcoming station redevelopment work. The lower station car park remains open and there are other parking facilities nearby as well. Arriving by bike? New bike storage is now open.
From mid-November, you'll see some changes to the station as the redevelopment work gets underway. There'll be reduced retail facilities, so it's best to buy your ticket online if you can. The team are still on hand to help you at the station, and more new facilities are on their way soon.
