Bee Network branded Northern Class 323 train at Cheadle Hulme railway station (August 2026)

A Bee Network branded Northern Class 323 train (323239) at Cheadle Hulme railway station in Greater Manchester on Thursday 6th August 2026.

Northern Class 323 (323239) at Cheadle Hulme railway station

This was the delayed 13:46 service from Crewe to Manchester Piccadilly.

The train had arrived at Cheadle Hulme at 14:20 ready for a 14:21 departure, but was delayed until 14:55.

I've only seen the Bee Network livery on this train at a station once before, at Stockport in April this year.

Vintage SELNEC bus in Stockport

Seeing a vintage bus in Stockport.

I saw this Leyland National vintage bus - in SELNEC (South East Lancashire North East Cheshire) livery - on the A6 Wellington Road South in Stockport this afternoon.

SELNEC was the Passenger Transport Executive in the area from 1969 until it was renamed Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) in 1974.

The photo below shows one of the current Bee Network buses on the other side of the road.

Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) itself ended in 2011 when it became part of Transport for Greater Manchester.

Are there other types of dead-ends on the Metrolink network?
