Engineering work is taking place at Manchester Victoria on weekends from 26th October to 7th December.
Stopping trains will run between Huddersfield and Stalybridge only, timings are unaltered so passengers travelling between Marsden, Slaithwaite & Huddersfield are unaffected.
There’s a connecting bus provided from Stalybridge to Ashton & Victoria, but it’s very slow.
Due to engineering work affecting Northern Rail services between Huddersfield and Manchester Victoria at weekends from 26th October to 7th December, First TransPennine Express will make a number of additional calls at Stalybridge to enable Northern Rail customers from intermediate stations between Huddersfield and Stalybridge the opportunity of a rail service to Manchester (by changing trains at Stalybridge).
This was one of the suggestions made when SHRUG met with Northern Rail in July.
The following services will call additionally at Stalybridge:
