🏁🏁 THE NEXT RACE HAS BEEN FILMED, WATCH THIS SPACE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!!! 🏁🏁

Excuse the couple of weeks break, it was either do that or get hit by burnout! Thanks so much for bearing with me!

Hi to YouTube! Lovely to be back OnTheMove with Jen.

(And everyone can rest assured Katie has warmed up now.)

I used to regularly use the Stockport-Stalybridge line when I travelled between Stoke-on-Trent and Hull, in the early 1970s.

Some years ago I stayed at the Premier Inn at Denton and looked up train times. What an absolute waste of a line which could be made into a tram train line and extended along roads to serve local communities. And yes Katie can come back. Love her sense of style.

It’s high time this service was reintroduced as an hourly service; but instead of just being a Stalybridge-Stockpot shuttle, it ought to work to/from Buxton, and possibly Huddersfield in the other direction.

Katie (shivering): The Pacers are warmer... because they have the heating stuck on!! Love it.

Great video. I always enjoy lines like these which are rarely used. Katie should return in more videos. I like her style and her being cold at the beginning is quite relatable.

Back in the late 1970, s i used to catch the train from Stockport to Guide Bridge every evening during the week shame to see such a useful commuter route abandoned like this . There used to be a lot of freight using that line as well don`t know if its still used in that way either

3:22 I especially enjoy the fact that the sign for Reddish South on the picket fence at this time stamp is, in fact, colored burgundy, therefore it is….wait for it….reddish. 😆

Great to see you back, Jen! Tell Josie to watch out…I want to steal that coat!

Brilliant Jen. Honestly enjoyed this, remember doing this service once with a Class 150 which was coupled to two Class 142 pacers! A six coach train on it! But also like how you shorten the intro and ending as well.

Last time I went on the "Denton Flier", it was Good Friday, Stockport to Stalybridge only, AND a 101...!!!

[jessicamorgan]

Thanks Jen, Josie and Katie.
There's plenty of freight on that line, though 🙂

[Om-nom-nomigon]

Watching a Jen video will always cheer me up😊

[highpath]

Reddish South (and Denton) have persuaded excursion trains to stop in the past so there are additional services avalible (for a price) in a calendar year.

Guide Bridge a shadow of its former self; the beautiful buildings have all been knocked down.

Classic Jen comment: "Is that aTranspennine Express train actually running?"
Extra kudos to you, Katie and Josie for doing this in the snow too. That's dedication. And yes, have them both with you in future videos.

Bit of a downer if it falls on a strike day!

[neilwilkins]

As someone living in Denton, it was be amazing to get even an hourly service between Stockport and Victoria. Definitely take some of the traffic off the road, especially at rush hour

Great vlog Jen. Would love to do this parliamentary train at some point! I enjoyed watching.

Hi Jen,
Good to see you back, and with friends too. Guessed you were taking a break.
Belated Happy New Year to you.
Stansted Airport went Parliamentary for a while in it's earlier days on the North bound route which was operated by Regional Railways, (remember them?), then along came privatisation and Cross Country took over that route and the rest, as they say, is history...
Cheers, Jon B.
