Two pairs of lines lead to the right. The top two lines are going to Styal and then Manchester Piccadilly. Added to allow fast trains to bypass Stockport the line is now used mostly for trains to the new Manchester Airport station. The bottom two lines are going to Cheadle Hulme, Stockport and Manchester Piccadilly. The two pairs of lines will join together again at Ardwick Junction.
