Mauldeth Road railway station is a suburban railway station in Manchester.
The station opened in 1909 and is positioned south of Longsight (Slade Lane Junction). Originally known as Mauldeth Road for Withington, being renamed Mauldeth Road on 6 May 1974, it now serves the Manchester - Crewe (via Manchester Airport) rail route, used by Northern Rail 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.
