Micklehurst Loop

The Micklehurst Loop is a significant railway route in England, serving as a double-track alternative between Diggle and Stalybridge on the Huddersfield-Manchester line.

Notable for its engineering achievements, including multiple tunnels and viaducts, the Micklehurst Loop showcases a blend of rural and industrial landscapes. The route continues to operate today, providing both passenger and freight services while passing through picturesque valleys and historic mill towns.
