Guide Bridge Problems 21/12

There was a huge one at Friezland called "Chew Brook Viaduct"

That's the one I had as Greenfield, using actual rather than railway place names!

Indeed, this was the very one that I had in mind when making my posting.

It was a figure of 4 (not 6) trains per hour starting from the terminal platforms at Manchester Piccadilly that I had seen. I suppose that the other two services will be possibly from Manchester Airport.

Can someone clarify this particular matter, please.

My understanding is:

2tph Liverpool Lime St-Manchester Victoria-onwards
2tph Manchester Airport-Manchester Piccadilly-Manchester Victoria-onwards
2tph Manchester Piccadilly-onwards (the current route)

Is anyone able to confirm?

The Cobb map actually has the location of the station wrong, it was south of Manchester Road. One of the buildings is still there:

The information that I have of 4tph from the terminal station platforms at Manchester Piccadilly is taken from a comment from a Network Rail personage made to me at one of the Northern Hub/Ordsall Chord exhibitions that were held some time ago and I had jotted this down at that time on one of the leaflets that were being handed out to the public.

I was not taking issue with the information otherwise that has now appeared in postings upon this particular thread, but just stating what I had been told.

Have a look through http://www.tameside.gov.uk/history/archive.php3 there may be some more there if you search for Droylsden or Manchester Road
