An East Midlands service comprising 156 408 headed by 158 889 is approaching the site of Hazel Grove MR Station and will soon take the Hazel Grove chord onto the LNWR Buxton branch towards Stockport. This section of line opened as the Midland Railway's Disley Cutoff in 1902. The chord line at Hazel Grove was completed in 1986 and allows services from Sheffield to access Stockport on the way to Manchester Piccadilly.
