Could happen soon, it's all in this thread.
Do you know if the work on Red Doles is going to cause a closure to the Public Footpath over the canal after the road finishes? I know work is currently on going and I can see no sign of any closure currently but just wondered of any furure plans to close.
There doesn't seem to be any current detail relating to that specific potential closure. Montgomery's business premises are just to the SE (canal path side) of the Red Doles Lane railway bridge and the only road access is under the railway. They don't appear to operate at weekends so it could be possible that temporary access limitations coincide with Town match days. Hopefully not the case!
Excellent, just the guide bridge line to do then before the december switch on, wonder what traction they'll use to test the overheads, emu or electric loco, that's if there's any electric locos left in the country.Another update from the same fella on LinkedIn:

All wires through Stalybridge P1-5 are now physically run. Next step is the installation of all the in-span components (e.g. section insulators).
Perhaps a class 88 would be appropriate given that they might, one day, replace the TPE class 68s?
This exactly but I do understand the OP's frustration.
You are the OP! 10 years minus two days.
I meant the OP in the above post sorry for the confusion.
Yes but not route cleared to run to Stalybridge. Wigan to Lostock is a possibility as that project includes 390 route clearance.
Are 390s cleared to run into Man Vic? Or just via Deansgate to Piccadilly?
Only hauled (non-passenger service) into Victoria (and through to Miles Platting Jn). They are cleared for passenger service from Deal St Jn to Windsor Bridge South Jn (i.e. through Salford Central) which I don't think has ever been utilised.
Just after the tunnel at stalybridge station.
Much appreciated
That's the one, couldn't think of the name had the name heywood in my head.
Which at present feeds to Ordsall Lane via the live feed through troughs
Correct. When fully wired it has been suggested they keep the cable in to remain as an independent grid feeder.
EM1 from York, EM2 from Manchester - dragged by something like the Class 82 from Barrow Hill built at Gorton (is that right?). Just got to get that 82 at Barrow Hill fixed and running by then. That'd truly be a demonstration of how amazingly modern high-tech and hard-to-do all this electrification malarkey is!
