Seeing this January 2022 trip working of five wagons from Guide Bridge (after repair or examination?) to Tunstead reminded me just how unusual short freights seem to be these days. 66507 has just come off the Denton line at Heaton Norris Junction and will cross the viaduct and pass through Stockport before branching onto the Hazel Grove line. All the wagons were sadly sporting widespread graffiti.
