Diggle and Uppermill residents should really give TfGM (GMPTE) the local transport authority a good kick, you have a perfectly good rail line, with stations on it, both not in use.
Apparently the 'service capacity is at maximum' which means TfGM have for 15 years given residents of West Yorkshire (Marsden & Slaithwaite) priority over you.
