Stockport-Stalybridge 1989
Views forward from a Birmingham RCW dmu (set number N673) in April 1989, the last year in which a full daily service operated between Stockport and Stalybridge, advertised as the "Pennine Connector". By May 1990, only 3 trains a day ran in this direction and 2 in the reverse. The video has been heavily edited to fit within the youtube time limit (sorry) - the actual journey time was 21 minutes.
