There is no Sunday service. Most services since the late 1980s have been operated with Class 142 Pacer diesel multiple units but, given their withdrawal from service in 2019/20, they are now run by Class 150s, Class 156s and Class 195s. In July 2020, Northern informed local residents that services between Manchester Piccadilly and Rose Hill Marple would not operate between 14 September and 14 December 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations. Although disruption occurred, the service is now running again frequently. Facilities Rose Hill Marple is a Park & Ride station. The station has a ticket office open on weekday mornings until 12:30pm; there is also a ticket machine at the station. The covered area provides a shelter with a three-seater bench. The original waiting room can be accessed during ticket office opening hours. Railway Road gives access to Middlewood Way, a linear park and trail for walkers, cyclists and horse-riders, which follows the line's previous route to Macclesfield. The initial section of this route was tarmacked and given street lighting in 2006; this was to encourage its use by residents of local residential developments in reaching the station and Stockport Road. In addition to exposed railings around the station area, three secure bicycle lockers are provided at the north end of the platform, which require a 'BLUC' key for use. Future planning As part of Manchester's Transport Innovation Fund (TIF) bid, which would have seen a weekday peak time congestion charge introduced on roads into the city centre, Rose Hill was among the stations listed to receive station improvements and improved services from the proposed £3bn injection into the region's public transport. This scheme was dropped after the plans were rejected substantially in a public referendum in December 2008. Rose Hill Marple has been touted as a suitable terminus for a new Metrolink tram service to the area, with possible routes being either a simple conversion of the existing line to Manchester or a new link into Stockport town centre via Bredbury and Portwood. The latter would provide an Eastern extension from the proposed Western link into Stockport town centre from Didsbury, linking together many towns in the borough along the Goyt and Mersey rivers. Despite heavy road traffic from private cars and buses, the local centres of Marple, Romiley and Bredbury have not been linked to their borough centre of Stockport
