Having stopped to talk to the workmen at Marple Station yesterday who had congregated on Brabyns Brow, they told me that during a routine inspection, the engineers have found very large movements in the bridge structure and that the Brabyns Brow is having to be closed whilst a new bridge is constructed 6 months (approx). This closure is very imminent, due to the risk of collapse and should expect the closure to be implemented as early as Monday. This is going to severely affect both road and rail transport and would suggest that readers who commute should find an alternative route and favour Rose Hill Station for daily commutes.
