History

The station was opened as Peel Causeway by the Cheshire Midland Railway (CMR) on 12 May 1862, when the railway opened from Altrincham to Knutsford. The CMR was amalgamated into the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) on 15 August 1867. The station became Peel Causeway for Hale on 1 January 1899 and it was renamed Hale on 1 January 1902.

The station was served by passenger trains from Manchester Central to Northwich and Chester Northgate. The CLC remained an independent entity, as a joint London, Midland & Scottish Railway and London & North Eastern Railway operation after the Grouping of 1923, until the creation of British Railways (BR). The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation on 1 January 1948. When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was managed by Regional Railways under arrangement with the Greater Manchester PTE until the privatisation of British Rail.

Facilities

The station has a ticket office on platform 1, which is open on weekday mornings. A ticket vending machine is in place for purchase of tickets outside of these hours and for the collection of pre-paid tickets. Digital station information boards are in operation on both platforms, along with station announcements. Car parking is available on either side of the level crossing.

A veterinary surgery now occupies most of the station building on platform 1, while there is a health clinic in the platform 2 building. The signal box is no longer in use.Шаблон:Citation needed
