OK, then - assuming we're still in Eccles, I suggest:-

Guide Bridge

another station in the suburbs of Manchester and served by Northern, but normally passed-through by another TOC - in this case TPE [in the case of Eccles, ATW of course]

 

[ValleyLines142]

Stalybridge is the terminus of the fantastic 0922 Stockport to Stalybridge service, famous for the one train a week, which calls at Guide Bridge at 0938!
