I haven’t ventured out too far today – just walked into the village, so this isn’t a complete picture.
As far as I know:
- We’ve had around 10cm/4 inches of snow.
- The trains out from Manchester to Gatley aren’t currently running
- No planes are coming in or out of Manchester Airport at least until noon and the airport warns that some of the approach roads are difficult to pass.
- Lots of people walking into the village – all the snow makes the pavements less slippery, for now at least.
- The roads I’ve seen are passable with care in a car, though some people are having problems on the hills.
- Most of the local schools appear to be closed
- There’s no refuse or recycling collection today

Hi, Thanks for your info. I am meant to be visiting Cheadle early morning on the 6th Jan. Looks as if it will be possible.
Many thanks for the information about trains and roads. It was really helpful, as I was going to try and get to work on the train. When I found from you that they were not running from mcr to gatley decided to stay at home. Didn’t fancy a sleepover in my office!!
