STOCKPORT RAIL ENGINEERING WORK

ℹ️

From 2 to 22 August, major engineering work means no trains at Stockport, Macclesfield, or Stoke-on-Trent.

– Rail replacement buses will be in operation, but journeys will take longer.

– Trains between London and Manchester will still run, taking a slightly longer route. Services to and from Manchester and Liverpool will be less frequent, and we’ll have a reduced timetable at Lichfield Trent Valley and Tamworth.

– Heading to the Community Shield at Wembley on 10 August? These changes could impact your journey – be sure to plan ahead.

MACCLESFIELD MODEL RAILWAY GROUP

…….. would like to thank everyone who supported our show on 5th & 6th April. It was the most successful show we’ve had since moving to Tytherington School ….. 16 years ago! To those who organised it and those than volunteered their help, Tytherington School who host the event, the exhibitors who demonstrated their skills and showed us their incredidible model railways, all the traders who provide so many of the ‘essentials’ for the hobby, our catering staff, those who helped ‘spread the word’ by ‘liking’ and ‘sharing’ our posts, the ‘Jam Butty’ Bus and Ned and, of course, every single visitor …. we could not have done it without ALL OF YOU!

Thank you , somehow, doesn’t even begin to cover the gratitude we feel for all your amazing support.
