On a sunny Wednesday morning in Denton, you might expect to see the town's train station packed with commuters and shoppers making their way into Manchester or nearby Ashton.
Instead, weeds grow through the train tracks and the platform is eerily quiet. The only sound to be heard is from cars and HGVs whizzing along the M67, which runs parallel.
The station is serviced by just two trains a week, and local residents have to make a formal request if they want it to stop. It currently only runs between Stockport and Stalybridge twice on a Saturday morning.
