I think there was engineering works going on over Easter which meant some services were diverted but I just checked and you were on a train which started (as usual) from platform 3A at Stockport (using stock stabled there overnight) and runs to Blackpool via Lostock, so the reference to it being a train from Alderley Edge was incorrect.

Trains from Alderley Edge go to Wigan or Southport via Bolton, with the ones that terminate at Wigan then forming a Wigan-Bolton-Victoria-Stalybridge service, which is why I mentioned the lack of wires and 769s.
