History
Opened	1 March 1858

Davenport railway station serves the Davenport suburb of Stockport.

The station is 11 km (7 mi) south east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Buxton Line.

It was opened by the Stockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway on 1st., March 1858, as a result of a complaint from Colonel William Davenport, a local landowner, that the company had not honoured its initial promise to provide a station at Bramall Lane (at that time just outside the boundary of Stockport Borough). A small passenger station was opened and named Davenport. Trade was slight and it closed in September 1859, to be reopened on 1 January 1862
