Capital


The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) had a working agreement and invested capital in the Cheshire Midland Railway but needed further help which came from the Great Northern Railway (GNR).



Joint committee


Together the MSLR and GNR formed a joint committee to operate the railway along with three others. This eventually led to the formation of the Cheshire Lines Committee in 1865.



Opening


The Cheshire Midland Railway opened from Altrincham to Knutsford on 12 May 1862 and from Knutsford to Northwich on 1 January 1863. Today the railway forms part of the Mid-Cheshire Line.



Public house


The 'Cheshire Midland' public house by Hale railway station on Ashley Road, Hale is named after the railway

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
