I like the way they handle the crowds at Denton and Reddish. :-)

[@telemachus53]

Standing room only.

[@nigelkthomas9501]

It’s high time this service was put back to hourly and extended (north) to Huddersfield and (south) to Hazel Grove, or even Buxton. Just how good would that be?

[@neilwilkins7686]

Denton is my local station so great to see in this footage

[@briancooper562]

If this train has to run then any passengers would be a bonus. So why is it not a free ride? Or a nominal £1 for any one to use. Think of a school trip to educate and entertainer and explain rail safety and operation.

[@Christopher125]

Any idea what Network Rail are doing to that (atochem?) siding just beyond Stalybridge?

[@rolandharmer6402]

Brian Redhead made a film about this line in the 1981 travelling from Stockport to Stalybridge for Home Ground on the BBC.

My journey to school 1965-1970

Great film once again. I like the remnants of the Woodhead electrification still left.

[@georgerutherford24]

Perfectly timed once a week not to connect with 2 departing services

[@dpjones1]

Not much piling work done between stalybridge and guide bridge just see the orange lids before guide bridge station.

[@mikecarroll6358]

Imagine waiting a week then missing it after taking a leak.

[@WolfmanWoody]

Wish I had a £pound for every time I've ridden that train.

[@allrightdrive1537]

Nice one bro 👏👏

[@io4439]

That Stockport Viaduct is very impressive

[@RichardFelstead1949]

"AC Crewe" ?

[@petersimons5675]

The control room for the ac current in the overhead wire is at Crewe

[@dave8484able]

Put it on the metrolink

[@phwbooth]

Great stuff. Thanks.

[@kriswarren2469]

What is meant by "parliamentary train"?

[@petersimons5675]

it’s run to avoid formal closer procedures of the stations Denton & Reddish South. The train runs infrequently once a week

[@TDlovestrains]

@@petersimons5675 it runs on a Friday I do believe.
