February 2019
The next four historical information boards in The Glossop Line series (Glossop, Dinting and Hadfield were installed March 2018) have now been prepared and are ready for installation. They are for Ashburys, Gorton, Fairfield and Hattersley. Much work has gone into creating the contents. A siting visit will take place on 22nd February with a view to installation soon after. We thank Steve Forde and SEMCRP for support of these boards. Preparation of the remainder is underway.
Simon Brooks, Northern’s Glossop Line Manager has been seconded as Interim Manager for Manchester Victoria. Simon has been a staunch supporter of our work and we wish him well in his new post. In his place we have Pete Longden based at Guide Bridge. We look forward to working with Pete.
Industrial action continues to affect SATURDAY train services. There is usually an hourly service between 08.00 and 17.00 BUT - please check before you travel. Train times are usually available from midweek.
