ABC Wednesday:E is for
Euston Express at Edgeley


This is a Virgin Express train at Stockport.

Stockport station used to be known as Stockport (Edgeley) to distinguish it from Stockport (Tiviotdale). The latter was on a no longer existing line whose route has been largely claimed by the M60 motorway.

All trains passing over the famous Stockport viaduct must stop at the station. The only other stops on this route from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston are usually Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent.

  9. I used to use Virgin trains regularly, but not so much nowadays. Rail travel has become so very expensive.
