The Hadfield and Glossop Line is a railway line connecting the city of Manchester with the villages of Hadfield and Glossop in Derbyshire, England. Passenger services on the line are operated by Northern Rail. In December 1984, the Manchester - Glossop/Hadfield line electrification was converted from 1500 V dc to 25kV ac. Class 303 EMUs took over from the veteran Class 506 units. The 303s later returned to the Glasgow area and were in turn replaced by Class 304 and Class 305 units before the more modern Class 323 units were introduced to the line in November 1997.

  • The Hadfield and Glossop Line is a railway line connecting the city of Manchester with the villages of Hadfield and Glossop in Derbyshire, England. Passenger services on the line are operated by Northern Rail. The line is the surviving section of the Woodhead Line, which was electrified in the early 1950s but passenger services east of Hadfield were withdrawn in 1970, followed by complete closure in 1981. Hattersley was opened in 1978, around 750m east of the then Godley, to serve the 1960s Hattersley estate, and in 1985 the Flowery Field and Godley stations were built (Godley around 500m west of the original Godley station, then renamed Godley East). These two stations (along with Ryder Brow on the Hope Valley Line) were built to a minimum standard, using hollow wooden structures compared the more grandiose stonework of original stations like Newton for Hyde or Glossop. Godley East was then closed in 1986, effectively being replaced by the newer Godley and Hattersley. In December 1984, the Manchester - Glossop/Hadfield line electrification was converted from 1500 V dc to 25kV ac. Class 303 EMUs took over from the veteran Class 506 units. The 303s later returned to the Glasgow area and were in turn replaced by Class 304 and Class 305 units before the more modern Class 323 units were introduced to the line in November 1997. Other than Manchester Piccadilly, the busiest station on the line is Glossop.[citation needed]
