run in March. Transport Wilmslow railway station is situated where the electrified line from Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly divides. One line continues to Manchester via Handforth, Cheadle Hulme and Stockport, the other continues to Manchester Piccadilly via Styal, Manchester Airport and Heald Green. The latter route is commonly known as the Styal Line. There are frequent services to Manchester, Alderley Edge, Crewe and Manchester Airport, plus a frequent service operated by Transport for Wales to Milford Haven, via Shrewsbury and Cardiff.

Wilmslow has two regular bus routes, which are: 88 Altrincham-Wilmslow-Knutsford service (Monday - Saturday hourly) 130 Parrs Wood - Macclesfield (Monday - Saturday hourly) There are no longer any bus services towards the airport, Stockport or Manchester or any Sunday or Bank Holiday bus services. The town is served by a number of bus services, with the main bus interchange being at Bank Square: The A34 Manchester to Newcastle-under-Lyme and Winchester road now bypasses the town centre to the east. Manchester Airport lies just four miles (6 km) along the A538 to the north west, but Wilmslow lies away from the approach and departure routes and therefore does not suffer from aircraft noise as Hale Barns and Heald Green do. The A34 bypass is the main road network that serves the town of Wilmslow. This was extended beyond neighbouring Alderley Edge in Winter 2010–11. The A34 Bypass joins the A555 at Handforth Dean and this road has recently been extended to Manchester Airport.
