Miles Platting was once an important station at the junction of the Oldham (foreground) and Ashton routes. Between the two routes stood this large station building, plus an even larger office for the Area Manager, responsible for the extensive marshalling yards at Miles Platting and slightly further north at Newton Heath and Moston. All traces of the station have now been eradicated.
