| - The Stockport–Stalybridge line is a railway line in Greater Manchester, England, running from Stockport northeast to Stalybridge, via Guide Bridge. The line is today used mainly by freight and empty stock workings, although it once had a frequent passenger service; from 1992, it had been served by a single train. From 2018 this service was increased to twice a week one service in each direction. Services are operated by Northern Trains usually with a Class 150 unit. This minimal service, termed a parliamentary train for historical reasons, avoids the official procedures of terminating a passenger service. The re-routeing of TransPennine Express services from Leeds to Manchester Piccadilly station and Manchester Victoria in May 1989 removed the main reason for its passenger service, with passengers who formerly used the Stalybridge–Stockport shuttle avoiding the need to change stations in Manchester, travelling via Manchester Piccadilly and changing there instead. The service was initially reduced to five trains per day (three in one direction and two the other) but, by 1992, had been cut to its present minimal level. The northern part of the route (from Guide Bridge to Stalybridge) is now used by the re-routed express services between Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly. The scarcity of services on the line has led to it becoming popular with rail enthusiasts, as well as real ale connoisseurs visiting the station buffet at Stalybridge. The line serves the following places:
* Stockport
* Reddish South
* Denton
* Guide Bridge
* Stalybridge (en)
