A 158 went up there many moons ago to see if it would fit and as far as I'm aware it was incident free. A 142 has also visited Buxton (unintentionally) but that's another story.

142's are prohibited between Glebe street junc and stoke on trent, so they are permitted up to stoke on trent but not beyond.

The speed through stockport on the up fast is 35mph. On the down fast it is 40 and then drops to 25 at the end of the platform.

As someone who drives these units I can say that they are brilliant units, I don't know a driver who doesn't like them. At the the moment they are undergoing C6 & C3 exams with all the interior getting renewed, (no more bubbling floor). They were never designed for 20 min commutes they are just...
