Travel conditions in Cheadle & Gatley, Stockport

by Lib Dem team on 5 January, 2010

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

    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!!
