Ugh, trains being stopped again??
So they’re blocking lines at Stockport because of an incident, but are we sure it’s not just signal issues again? My buddy said “maybe canceled” and now I’m stressing for no reason.
“Macclesfield and Stockport will not be served” is brutal. Does that mean like completely closed for the night or just some routes? Also why is Styal the diversion route… wouldn’t it be opposite or something?
Emergency services = probably somebody jumped or a car stuck on the tracks, right? That’s always what these headlines mean. If trains are halted maybe they’ll just cancel everything and tell us to drive, classic.
