In a flurry of flying leaves Network Rail MPV DR 98982 hurries through Middlewood Station on rail jetting duties. Apparently leaves don't fall at weekend as this train does not run on Saturday or Sunday which has been causing significant problems for the services on those days due to serious slipping on parts of the Buxton branch. This resulted in the farcical situation on the morning of Monday 14th November when the leaf buildup on the rails was such that the jetting train slithered to a halt before reaching Middlewood and had to run back to Hazel Grove wrong line. One wonders who is managing this circus?
