LIVE MUSIC TRAIN TO GOOSTREY: THURSDAY 19TH FEBRUARY
19th February 2009

On Thursday 19th February, Class 49 will be playing Blues and Bluegrass music on the 19:04 departure from Manchester Piccadilly to Goostrey.

The train calls at Levenshulme (19:09), Heaton Chapel (19:12), Stockport (19:17), Cheadle Hulme (19:24), Handforth (19:28), Wilmslow (19:31), Alderley Edge (19:34) and Chelford (19:38), before arriving at Goostrey.

Upon arrival at Goostrey, the music continues in the Red Lion pub, a short 7-8 minute walk from the station, before returning on the 22:05 departure from Goostrey back up to Manchester.  Note that this train does not call at Heaton Chapel and Levenshulme - for these stations, passengers change at Stockport onto the 22:35 departure to Bolton, which calls at both stations.  If two of you are travelling together, you can save 25% off the cost of your journey with a Duo ticket.  The subsequent Folk Train will take place on Thursday 19th March at the same times as above.
