Class 156 Diesel train visits Glossop Station!

 On September 8th a very rare visitor, Class 156 491, visited Glossop Station to form the delayed 10.39 service to Manchester Piccadilly. The first service had been cancelled due to overrunning engineering works at Ardwick which had affected the overhead power lines so to get the Sunday service started on the Glossop Line a diesel train was used. A Glossop Station, Graham, member of staff and Neil Williams from FOGS, were doing their best to inform passengers of a changing situation regarding the train service. Passengers were building up. The electronic screens were also down! At 10.40, much to everyone's surprise, the 156 crept in! The driver and guard were amused by passengers looking for doors that did not exist! One couple had told Neil that, for the novelty of a diesel trip they would pay double! Neil told the guard where they were sitting!! Due to the train's lateness it did not travel to/from Hadfield and left for Manchester at 10.50. Passengers sitting around tables created scenes reminiscent of the famous football charter special to Wembley in 2009! By 11.30 normal services with electric Class 323 were resumed. Did anybody take a photo?!!
