1980s, was closed and removed in April 2013. A new purpose-built ticket office, funded by Network Rail, was constructed in summer 2013 and opened in October 2013. In March 2017, the old rail bridge over Mauldeth Road, originally from when the line opened in 1909, had come to end of its life and was replaced with a new bridge. Service patterns Historically, the station has been served by a half-hourly service each way to Manchester Piccadilly and Crewe. In 1993, following the opening of the railway station at Manchester Airport, every other service terminated and commenced at Manchester Airport while another continued onto either Wilmslow, Alderley Edge or Crewe. The new 2018 timetable was the most radical in decades and notable for its poor introduction, which was marked by many delays and cancellations. As part of the May 2018 timetable change, the Styal Line to the Airport operated on a skip-stop basis to free up additional capacity for express trains. Consequently, Mauldeth Road station was still served by two services per hour but at more irregular intervals and not all services stop at the four other commuter stations on the Styal Line (, , and ), as has been the case historically. Additionally, services were extended to which allowed for the service to utilise the two through platforms (13 and 14) at Piccadilly rather than terminating into a bay platform - which prevents the services from cutting across the 'throat' of the approach into Piccadilly and reducing capacity for Transpennine services. Due to train crew shortages, between January and December 2022, the service was reduced to an hourly service with the semi-fast service between and via being withdrawn. Following a sustained fall in patronage between 2017 and 2021 attributed to the introduction of irregular calling patterns and increased unreliability following the 2018 timetable recast, in December 2022 Mauldeth Road reverted to a service similar to pre-2018 timetable with a half-hourly service at 30 minute intervals. The southbound platform was upgraded in early 2023. Six-car Class 195 and 331 can call through Mauldeth Road due to automatic selective door operation (ASDO), however the southbound platform extension will allow two Class 323 units (which do not possess ASDO) to call at Mauldeth Road and double seating capacity on the service. Facilities The station has a staffed ticket office on the ramp to Platform 1 (for trains to towards Manchester Piccadilly). There is
