This was known as the Micklehurst line. Built to expand the London, North Western railways busy line through the Standedge tunnels, it had to be built on the eastern side of the valley, as the western side was too steep. It linked to the Cheshire Lines committee tracks near Stalybridge. The line is no longer continuous as the tunnels have been blocked and landscaped. Opened in 1885 the loop was closed to all traffic in 1966
Almost 3.5 miles of Railway line on the Tame Valley Way with the potential of linking to the Pennine Bridleway or the Standedge Way, both bridleways, near Ryefields and beyond. In fact some of the Pennine Bridleway uses a short section of the line further south. The southern end is at Bottoms just below Mossley.
