Here's a bit of fun from yesterday. Sandhole of this site, was in Altrincham buying his modeling bits at Waltons, when he noticed the feather was off which usually means freight. He sent me these images of 66014 on the blue boxes.

Sorry to come back to this post but for clarification the feather will have been off as the points onto the single track at navigation road are broken and are clipped and scotched therefore anything heading towards Stockport uses the crossover just beyond the platform instead, been like that for a good 8-12 months now!

36 years after closure of the Manchester-Sheffield 1500V DC Woodhead line, the gantries for the electrified route to Ashton Moss remain in place.
