Boots on the ground and heavy equipment is nearby. But no sign of any resolution. I wonder if they'll get passenger trains running over it but keep the heavy freight away. It's not a great situation at all for passengers at the moment. This mornings 0729 New Mills Central - Piccadilly was 2...

BX don't sign them at the moment.

Rail Advent stating a reopening on Saturday all being well with ballast being dropped as we speak on the breach.

Agreed. Definitely won't be open again on May 5th as stated on NRE

I did the RRB last week and it went via Hayfield :D

The initial TSR of 20mph had been there for about 18 months. The 5mph was implemented in January, it was then raised back to 20 before it was put back to 5 a few weeks ago. They've known about it for a long time New Mills Central box still in use. It where the Pilot goes for a brew between...

There was a booked 195 during covid on a Sunday, on the 0833 Manchester Victoria to Blackburn via Todmorden, as it formed a York from Blackburn.

The 20mph TSR has been on it for nearly 2 years. They've had plenty of time to think about sorting it out

Sunday timetable for the foreseeable is for the Manchester - Sheffield to run as booked via Marple The return working will be diverted via Chinley, but call additionally at Hazel Grove and Stockport, with a rail replacement bus from Chinley to Piccadilly via Marple.

The Murphy compound was there for the emergency ground investigation works which were due to be completed by the 4th of April. That of course now has been deemed irrelevant following the closure of the down line. I suspect with the location of the slip it's going to be along the lines of Eden...

From Monday, some but not all diverted services are to call at Stockport and Hazel Grove. The current 1 p/h to New Mills Central is to be retimed to incorporate SLW

I've seen a photo of the rail profile since Monday and it isn't pretty but thankfully closed before a catastrophic failure occurred.

Other than this on a New Mills Facebook page, there isn't any juicy photos as you wanted because traffic has been stopped on the line before it was too late.

Easier to keep it SLW from Marple to NM as it'll be self contained and won't affect any other line

Correct. And the peak time extras. Only the xx.18 off Piccadilly and xx.34 off New Mills will run.

Could be. A freight driver I know said he went over it last week and was ready to bail out of the cab because the lurch was that bad. Even sat in the saloon of a 195, you could feel it

Single line working to be implement. All Sheffield stoppers diverted via Hazel Grove with the New Mills Central terminator using SLW

Indeed. Has been dipping for months. There was an initial 20mph TSR on it dropped to 5mph. It was bound to happen sooner rather than later. This possibly will take months to fix. Think Eden Brows! It's location isn't ideal either. No tangible way to get equipment to it either. 1711401570 And...

Reopened on Saturday morning. Apparently all that's happened is new ovens upstairs

That was my though exactly T.
