For a long time there has only been one passenger train a week, in one direction. It departs Stockport at 11:23 Saturday morning, passing through South Reddish (stopping on request only) at 11:27. It then calls at Denton, Guide Bridge before arriving at Stalybridge 11:44.
It keeps this line classified as a passenger line, not just freight, and reduces the tax to be paid by Network Rail, justifying the expense of the service.]
