Train types that have served Davenport (Fairly trivial)

Hope this is the right place for this.
I moved to davenport in 1977 (for the avoidance of doubt that is Davenport near Stockport on the Buxton branch) and at that time every train that served Davenport station was a BRCW class 104 DMU. There were no non-stop trains as far as I recall.

Since then we have had sprinterisation, electrification, the Hazel Grove chord and one or two other local changes so I fell to thinking about the trains I have caught to or from my local station since.

I believe that I have got on and / or off all of the following.
Classic DMUs; Class 101/104/108 (including a memorable occasion when a class 104 was towed by a class 47 loco).
Second generation DMUs; Class 142/150/156
Third generation DMU: Class 180
EMUs: Class 303/304/305/310/319/323 (331 will soon be introduced I believe)

In addition we have seen the following passenger stock passing through in normal service.
Class 31 plus BR Mark 1/2 stock
Second/Third generation DMUs Class 153/156/158/185.

Can anyone think of any others from this period? I can't recall a class 309 on the branch for example but it could have happened.

Good one. Also ...did the HSTs come this way when Manchester trains were goig to St Pancras during the West Coast modernisation? I think they did to get the Stockport stop in.
