323239, an ex-British Rail class 323 passenger train from Glossop leaves Flowery Field Station en-route for Manchester. The British Rail Class 323 electric multiple units (EMUs) were built by Hunslet TPL from 1992-93. Forty-three 3-car units were built for inner-suburban services around Birmingham and Manchester. These trains were the last vehicles to be built by the struggling manufacturer Hunslet before it collapsed. These trains were amongst the last constructed in the UK before rail privatisation. From 2006-2016 the Glossop line was operated by Northern Rail. The franchise has now been passed to Arriva Rail North who operate under the name "Northern". Flowery Field station opened in May 1985.
