Trains to Guide Bridge - Station Details and further Information on Guide Bridge Train Services
Guide Bridge train station serves Guide Bridge a part of Audenshaw, Tameside in Greater Manchester, England and is operated by Northern Rail. The station is 4 miles east of Manchester Piccadilly on the Glossop Line.
The current service at Guide Bridge consists of a half hourly Manchester Piccadilly - Hadfield EMU service and an hourly (DMU) service between Piccadilly and Rose Hill Marple. There is no Sunday service on the Rose Hill line.
The Stockport-Stalybridge Line DMU service, which had been an hourly operation, was almost entirely withdrawn when TransPennine services between Manchester and Leeds were re-routed from Manchester Victoria to serve Manchester Piccadilly in 1989. There was for a time a 16:08 Friday only "service" from Stalybridge to Guide Bridge whilst weekend engineering work was taking place in the Stockport area (in 2004), but currently the once-weekly "parliamentary" service on the route operates in the other direction (leaving Stockport at 09.22 and calling at 09.38, on Fridays only). This train is also unusual in that it arrives at Guide Bridge on the Manchester-bound platform before changing tracks after departing.
TransPennine trains are routed through Guide Bridge but do not stop there. |
