The station was opened by the London & North Western Railway in 1909; it was first known as Gatley for Cheadle, before being renamed Gatley on 6 May 1974.
The station is on the A560 Gatley Road and has a car park. The ticket office and waiting room, on the Manchester-bound platform, are only open in the morning.
Gatley station re-opened on 28 January 2007, after reconstruction of the platforms and work to replace the ramp access to them. 2010 saw the installation of electronic train service information screens on each platform. In 2018, Northern by Arriva introduced ticket machines, which are on the northbound platform and at the bottom of the ramp for the southbound platform.
Work to extend the platforms at the station is expected to be completed by March 2023.[2]
