Stockport's Rail Services


Your readers may be interested in my petition to the Government set up recently when I heard that the long-standing Act of Parliament concerning the Viaduct and trains having to stop at Edgeley Station had been over-turned by the Department of Transport. Here is a link to my petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Stockport-trains/
Much as I've always admired the architecture and sheer scale of Stockport Viaduct, it's presence across the Mersey valley is to my mind only acceptable so long as Stockport residents get a decent rail service with all trains having to stop at Edgeley Station. I would therefore welcome any additional exposure of this petition that you are able to give through the magazine,
Regards
