Friends of Handforth Station are highly regarded in the world of community rail, and have won numerous awards for their work in making the station a more attractive place.

The National Trust run Quarry Bank Mill and Styal Country Park can be reached from the station by an easy mile and a half walk.
Handforth now has an improved southbound service from Manchester with better timings.
