Derailed freight train on Hope Valley line?

[Sox]

The pass then descends into the Woodhead valley. Thats the bit where the reservoirs are.

I think you mean the Longdendale Valley.

I think you mean the Longdendale Valley.

You make a very good point and I'd forgotten about that so thanks for this! Having just checked my Ordnance Survey Dark Peak map I stand corrected! Happy days!

Does anyone know which unit this is?

Thanks

It's the shortest route between the two cities and could be the fastest by if reopened.

Would it be now?
Since Sheffield Victoria no longer exists as a useful site for a station/connections and a reversal is required at Nunnery and because the north end of Sheffield( Midland) station is congested and could not cope with more traffic.

On Sundays in the 70's the time was faster to the site of Victoria but the subsequent reversal to access Midland took an age. The Hope valley line is also faster nowadays.
