A Hull-Liverpool train approaches Manchester Victoria. Built as 6-car sets, the Trans-Pennine units' buffet cars were withdrawn in the early 1970s, leaving the formation apparent in the photograph. Manchester Victoria's immediate surroundings were still largely industrial in the 1970s. "Urban living" apartments have now replaced the chimney visible.
