One Train a Week.mov

Much as I’d like to see this service return to being hourly and also into Manchester Victoria, I doubt it will happen cos the bus service is every ten to twelve minutes at Denton. Not sure about Reddish South, but then again there’s a Reddish North with trains directly serving Manchester Piccadilly. What I would like to see is a twice hourly service from Stockport (or even Hazel Grove) with trains going alternately to Manchester Victoria (or beyond) and Stalybridge/Huddersfield, or even through to Leeds!

This "Ghost Train" as some rail enthusiasts are calling it, now departs Stockport at 10:13 on Fridays (until 06/12/13), making it possible for me to ride it in May the next time I'm off work on a Friday. What's more coming from the Cumbrian Coast line (my area) for the privelige would not have been possible if it was kept at 09:26, as the earliest you make Stockport is 09:53. This is one route I've yet to travel on, and think..Mokyfit.co.uk may try a dance class on it on a Friday during 2013.

For such an infrequent service it's well patronised! And then when it *does* turn up it's a sort of Leyland bus! ("Pacer"). When it arrives at Stalybridge I think "Trans Europe Express" - but as that lasts over 20 minutes, I don't think Kraftwerk should ever play live. One train a week in one direction? That pub must be *full* of lost people!
