    Have you been on your closest infrequent/parliamentary rail service?

    I live in Stalybridge, so the answer is a definite yes - I'd prefer it to run in the opposite direction but I would accept the majority of users prefer Stalybridge (and it's buffet bar) as the destination.

    Northern timetable plan for May 2018

    I don't think it's considered an interchange from a fares point of view. If I bought a Stalybridge - Audenshaw ticket, I'd be expected to travel via Piccadilly
