Stockport-Stalybridge Birmingham RC&W dmu Guide Bridge
The snap is none too good but is evidence that there was once a frequent (possibly hourly) service between Stockport and Stalybridge, calling Reddish South, Denton and Guide Bridge stations on the way.
For many years between the 1960s and 1980s two-car dmus were frequently to be found on this service. Here one such 2-car set comes under the wires of the 1500v dc Woodhead route as it crosses Stockport Junction (signal box in the background) to enter Guide Bridge station before heading off via Guide Bridge North to Stalybridge.
