Davenport railway station (England)
Davenport railway station  serves the Davenport suburb of Stockport, Greater Manchester, England. The station is 7 miles (11 km) south east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Buxton Line. History

It was opened by the Stockport, Disley and Whaley Bridge Railway on 1 March 1858, as a result of a complaint from Colonel William Davenport, a local landowner, that the company had not honoured its initial promise to provide a station at Bramhall Lane (which was, at that time, just outside the boundary of Stockport Borough). A small passenger station was opened and named Davenport. Trade was slight and it closed in September 1859, to be reopened on 1 January 1862. Facilities

The station has a ticket office at street level, which is staffed in the mornings through until early afternoon, six days per week (closed all day Sunday). At all other times, tickets must be bought on the train or prior to travel. Waiting shelters are provided at platform level on each side, whilst train running information is offered by means of CIS displays and timetable posters.
