Collected date	16/09/16

Heaton Chapel was the day's first station so we arrived at the tail end of the morning's commuter rush. It wasn't masively busy but there was still something of a hubbub at this station in a suburb of Stockport. The main station building sits on the platform 2 side of the railway, facing on to Heaton Moor Road:

A plaque on the front of the station building commemorates a visit by the royal train in 2013:

The western side of the station building:

The station buildins has steps to the platform and there's a ramped entrance from Tatton Road South. Here's its entrance:

The ramp leads down under the road bridge past the side of the station building:

Over on the other side of the road bridge the entrance to platform 1's building is boarded up:

Round the corner we can see that this is the top of a staircase leading down to platform 1:

But since that entrance is closed passengers have to walk down Egerton Road North to this side entrance:

A ramp leads down from this entrance to platform 1:
