Its other claim to fame is the last outpost of the Woodhead [MSLR] line you can ride on, with original catenary gantries.

Did anyone spot this at the very beginning of episode 1?

The sequence and the on train shots was filmed on the ELR and involved topped and tailed Class 40s, 135 and 145 on 16 October.

I should have been working Townsend Fold signal box that day but was stood down the night before as they only wanted to go down as far as Irwell Vale. Knowing what was happening I beetled off with the camera at lunchtime only to find the train empty - the cast had remained in "refreshment facilities" in Ramsbottom, and only the camera crew were on board for the external shots.
