[edit] History
The station was opened as Peel Causeway by the Cheshire Midland Railway (CMR) on 12 May 1862 when the railway opened from Altrincham to Knutsford. The CMR was amalgamated into the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) on 15 August 1867. The station became Peel Causeway for Hale on 1 January 1899, and on 1 January 1902 it was renamed Hale. The station was served by passenger trains from Manchester Central to Northwich and Chester Northgate.
[edit] Service
Monday to Saturday there is generally an hourly service from Hale to Manchester Piccadilly eastbound (although some morning peak trains terminate at Stockport) and Chester westbound.
Sundays see a two-hourly service to Chester and Southport via Manchester Piccadilly and Bolton. This is a significant improvement on the former Sunday provision of five trains each way between Chester and Altrincham only.
