Oh the memories of Skelton, Cinderland, Hale and Cheadle in the 70s! I can remember train jams here! Watching a 24 doing a run-around on the loop, very busy with Fiddlers Ferry MGRs, Tunstead stone, Diton BOC tanks, Stanlow Oils and loads more. Beautiful old Sig box too --- alas all gone now!
So where is this train coming from? I spend half my life in West Timperley in Greater Manchester, but I never see freight come through Altrincham station, and the line to Partington (heading off to the left of the junction) has been closed for years...
@boardey I must be missing something, too. Hoped the comments would be relevant to the loco, consist or railway. Anyway a class 60 is a nice change from a shed. Oh for a pair of Growlers..sniff....
Listen you thick bastards: if your bins are collected by Trafford borough council you are a MANCHUNIAN be proud and stop pretending you live somewhere you don't. Ok, you used to be in Cheshire but the old borders were established before world war one...give me a break!
It hasn't been in Cheshire since 1972. It's in the METROPOLIOTAN borough of Trafford. Metropolitan means city...Manchester is a city and its metropolitan conurbation is called Greater Manchester, of which Timperly is part of. To be in the ceromonial county of Cheshire Timperly would have to be in one of these unitary authorities: Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Warrington or Halton. Your WA post code means shit. You could live in parts of Didsbury and have an SK post code.
Sorry to say but you are wrong! True Tipmerley is in Trafford, however Trafford staddles Gtr Manchester and Ceshire. Also the correct address for residents in Timperley is Timperley, Altrincham, Cheshire Postcodes WA15/WA14. WA= Warrington. Warrington is in Cheshire. If it was Gtr Manchester then the postcode would be M**. Like Sale.
Postcodes have nothing to do with the borough you are in. So learn some geography. Cheshire and Greater Manchester don't straddle so next time look at the map.
Going by your video message on your youtube account, i would take anything you say with a pinch of salt. You're obviously not the most interlect of people around when putting a poin of view accross when every second word you say is FUCKING This and FUCKING That! I Bet 'Fred' has got more brain cells than you have. You come across as a right sad tosser with nothing better to do with your sad life! You're probably on it more than he is. Oh and by the way Timperley geographically IS IN Cheshire.
I met loads of Traffordites like you at Knutsford High School. You are insistent you reside in the ceremonial county of Cheshire. Whats this straddled border shit? All of the metropolitan borough is in gr. Manchester. If not then that means the Salford keys, Trafford Park and Man U are in Cheshire. By the way, Warrington is its own unitary authority, not even Cheshire proper. And Cheshire is made up of Cheshire East and West authorities now...a borough cannot be in two ceremonial counties!
Damn right I'm from Cheshire! I know why you came to Knutsford. You were too fucking thick to pass the exam for Altrincham Boys/ Ambrose etc. and your mum thought too highly of you to send you to Greenlane/ Wellie Road...but that's where you belonged. Do you wonder why we pricks treat you in a prick way?
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. But there are a lot of parents who do that though. I lived in Knutsford so it was unusual for us to do independent school tests unless we were posh. So I just went to my local one which was Knutsford. I would loved to have gone to an all boys school...then again, I 'm quite gay. Do you admitt defeat about the Cheshire/Manchester stuff then?
Actually, it's been in the Metropolitan borough of Trafford which is in Greater Manchester since the Local Government Act of 1972. Your postcode defence is ridiculous logic. It has the Post code prefix of a Cheshire town, so fucking what? Some parts of Staffordshire have a Crewe post code. Some parts of Greater Manchester have a Stockport post code. Its not all M, thats mainly central Manchester.
That's an exceptionally stupid thing to say. How can a single metropolitan unitary authority be within two ceremonial counties at the same time? That's like saying there are two different types of Trafford...which there isn't, there's only one.
Ahhhh memories, used to be a Signalman there a lifetime ago
