Stockport Viaduct carries the West Coast Main Line across the valley of the River Mersey in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England (grid reference SJ89089030). It is one of the largest brick structures in the United Kingdom and a major structure of the early railway age. It is immediately north of Stockport railway station.

Bit of history.

Viaduct Bridge Accident.


An accident on the viaduct occurred on 30 November 1948 at 19:40 when, in darkness and thick fog, a Buxton train ran into the back of a Crewe and Disley train that was stopped at the signal at the south end of the viaduct waiting for a platform. Although the collision was at 10–15 mph, because of the inertial mass of four locomotives the last (11th) coach of the Crewe–Disley service telescoped into the 10th carriage. Five people were killed and 27 were seriously injured. The impact took place in approximately the centre of the viaduct. The inspector attributed the cause to the driver of the lead engine of the Buxton train, which was stopped at a signal just south of Heaton Norris railway station. He misinterpreted a shout from the assistant porter as having been from the guard giving permission to proceed, which the guard should have obtained from the signal box under Rule 55, as the signal was not visible in the dense fog. The train passed the signal at danger
