I had always understood that, as a condition of using the viaduct, all trains must stop at Stockport. Not true, apparantly. It must be said that it suits Virgin and others to peddle this story as it gives a huge timetable benefit, especially travelling north. It can take between 8 and 15 minutes to get from Stockport to Piccadilly, according to the official timetable. This gives plenty of scope to catch up any lost time and arrive in Manchester on time. A brilliant use of an urban myth to support a private sector failure!!

What great engineering...built 300 foot up, with big arches to let water flow through in case the River Mersey flooded.

What wonderful forward thinking, current day planners could learn a lot from the Victorians.

those rag cunts could learn much tbf mate

just look at the state of that swamp shithole with all those rag wankers in it

Salfords finest

I used to work in Regent House on Heaton Lane, overlooking the viaduct when British Rail managed the network, and they decided it was worth spending £3m cleaning it up.

It was shrouded in scaffolding and plastic sheets for ages, being sandblasted clean.

When their work was done, and it was finally revealed to the public, they'd forgotten to sandblast the coping stones at the top of the bridge on the pyramid side.

Those stones are still as black today as they were then.

Now it has bushes and small trees growing out of it.
