Oldham bound Derby DMU at Milnrow. At this time the line was under threat of complete closure between Rochdale and Shaw although it was later reprieved, but singled between those two stations. It subsequently had a service of two trains an hour in each direction but was closed in September 2009 and converted to the Metrolink tram system. See image 21034 for a comparison image from 2008.
