The station opened in 1909 and is positioned south of Longsight (Slade Lane Junction). Originally known as Mauldeth Road for Withington, it now serves the Manchester - Crewe (via Manchester Airport) rail route, used by Northern Rail and TransPennine Express for stopping services to Manchester Airport. Its coal sidings closed in the 1960s, along with its original platform buildings on the up (southbound) side. The remaining wooden ticket office on the down side burned down on bonfire night in 1986; thereafter the ticket office was a small prefabricated unit at the bottom of the station approach.

It caters mainly for commuter traffic, being electrified at 25kV AC overhead, and is used by a mixture of EMU and DMU traffic.

The Monday to Friday off-peak & Saturday pattern of services is as follows:

• 2 trains per hour to Manchester Airport, one of which continues on to Wilmslow
• 2 trains per hour to Manchester Piccadilly, one of which continues onto Blackpool North

During rush-hour, the service to and from Manchester Piccadilly can reach 3 trains per hour. Due to station modernisation works (see below), the station is closed on Sundays and train services are replaced by a bus.

As part of a £12m station modernisation programme on the Manchester Airport Line, re-building work on Mauldeth Road started in Autumn 2006. [1] Network Rail were able to keep the station operational for most of the time by demolishing the existing platforms in small parts and using temporary platforms. At present there is a temporary footbridge spanning the platforms as the pedestrians' access ramp to the northbound platform is out of use; to get to the northbound platform, passengers have to walk up the access ramp to the southbound platform and cross the temporary footbridge. When finished, Mauldeth Road station will have new steel platforms, modern waiting shelters, new lighting and access ramps [2].
