156461 calls at New Hey on the Oldham loop single line section between Shaw and Rochdale. View towards next stop Milnrow and the train will then go on to Manchester before going out to Kirkby or Southport. The guard leans out for a pre departure check on a very wet day. All original station buildings See image 21081 were long gone at New Hey and on this day the platform shelter was under water. The station closed in October 2009 for conversion to Metrolink tram operation and reopened in 2013.
