View westward, towards Manchester (London Road and Central) on the ex-Great Central main line Manchester - Sheffield. Curving to the left is the ex-London & North Western line to Stockport, while to the right behind the train is the Joint line to Ashton and Oldham: Guide Bridge was a very important and busy junction on the east side of Manchester. The train is headed by ex-GC Robinson O4 2-8-0 No. 63743 - evidently recently overhauled.
