Aboard a train at Rose Hill
Image: © Gerald England Taken: 17 Aug 2020
On board a train from Rose Hill to Manchester Piccadilly. There were maybe a dozen or more passengers in the carriages behind me. At most of the stops between a quarter and half a dozen passengers joined. The front part of the carriage has a notice asking people to keep the section free for the use of the conductors Image I never saw one for the whole journey. At Gorton a man got on using the front door and sat in that section unaware of the restrictive notice. During the coronavirus pandemic the service by Northern has been reduced from half-hourly to hourly and now local residents have been informed that services between Manchester and Rose Hill will not operate between early September and mid December 2020. This will leave Rose Hill, Woodley, Hyde North and Hyde Central without service for around four months.
