I like clips like this as they let you see lines that are not used by passenger services so you wouldn't get to see them unless you go on a rail tour that runs that way.

You can tell how old this is as the line through Ashton Moss and Philips park is now overhead electrified right up to Stalybridge.

A nice interesting ride. Cheers!

Amazing to see there are still some old 1,500 V DC electric gantry masts on the section of line at 13:40. This is the furthest the class 76's went when they worked the Woodhead route that closed way back in 1981. There used to be some exchange sidings at Ashton Moss Junction where diesels worked the train forward.

Brilliant rare route video

Denton would be my local station... It it ever gets a service

Great video.  !

Is that the old platforms for Baguley Fold railway station at 19:17? A great video by the way.

It sounds like you are  in a Class 166 DMU, I know you are in some sort of diesel unit, with the lack of overheads.

Did the Crowthorne Line used to be semaphore signalled past Denton Junction at one time?

Is this the infamous Denton <> Stockport "ghost" train that only operates once a week on Friday mornings?
