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.

It looks like an express that is very comfortable - I just hope it keeps the schedule :-)

That looks like quite an elegant express train. It would be wonderful to ride.
ReplyDeleteIs this what people call bullet train? How fast this train goes looks like it's fun to ride a train ^_^.

ReplyDeleteI adore trains and love train rides.
