Woodley Station
Class 47 number 47120 heads westbound through Woodley station on 27 May 1988 with the Pedigree Pet Foods train. To the right of the second container is the remains of line that once went through to Stockport Tiviot Dale station, and on to Manchester Central, now GMEX. Tiviot Dale station eventually closed on 2 January 1967 but freight continued to run along the line until contractors building the M63 (now M60) motorway "accidentally" damaged the roof of the tunnel just off the West end of the platform at Tiviot Dale causing a temporary closure of the route which soon became permanent. Since the closure of the Woodhead route in July 1981, British Rail had been looking for an excuse to close this section of line and this "mishap" was just what they had needed. This was once a very busy junction station with an almost endless procession of coal trains coming to/from the Yorkshire coalfields to the power station at Fiddlers Ferry, but Woodley station is now a shadow of its former self with an hourly service from Manchester Piccadilly to/from Marple Rose Hill and very little freight it's now a very quiet and lonely place indeed!
