The station area as seen in early 1989. The former Area Manager's offices and all station buildings had been demolished by this time (see here for photo of the main station building http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1009589). Tickets had to be purchased on the train, though passengers boarding or alighting were a distinct rarity. In the left distance, the dome belongs to a former cinema on Oldham Road, by 1989 in use as a bingo hall.
