Editing Hope Valley line (section)

===Sheffield and Midland Joint Section===
This section was built by the [[Sheffield and Midland Railway Companies' Committee]] as part of the [[Midland Railway]]'s drive to reach Manchester with its line from [[London]] via {{rws|Ambergate}} and {{rws|Millers Dale}}. Initially, in 1867, it joined the [[Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway]] at [[Hyde North railway station|Hyde Junction]], running into [[Manchester Piccadilly railway station|Manchester London Road]], but in 1875 a more direct route was built through {{rws|Bredbury}}. When {{rws|Manchester Central}} was opened by the [[Cheshire Lines Committee]], a new line was built through {{rws|Heaton Mersey}}. This third route was closed along with Manchester Central, apart from the section through [[Disley Tunnel]] to {{rws|Hazel Grove}}, where it now joins the old [[London and North Western Railway|LNWR]] line into {{rws|Stockport}}.
